Post your SS-Poster

[kpaintner]

Picked these up at the local gun show today. What do you think? I traded some bayonets for them....hopefully I did I ok. My pictures are not very good...lots of reflection off the glass. I plan on reframing them.

Unfortunately, they are fake.

It is not entirely correct to be even calling these fakes as they are not representative of any known pre-1945 original posters.

These are straight up fantasy posters of which there are many types that can be found on the net...

Tony has put together a nice selection on his website...

Agreed Max... I called them 'fake' but they are indeed 'fantasy' pieces.

Thanks for the info. I took them back and got my bayonets back, so luckily no harm done.

Thanks,

Hi,

clearly original. This print was made available by "Der praktische Schulmann" ("the practical school man"), a serie of visual paintings done for schoolboys.
Schools or school teachers subscribed to the collection (and probably individuals ?).
Hundred of different prints were proposed over the years, including pictures of Adolf Hitler.
The print dimensions were around 90x60 cm.

A (nice) photobook on the ethnic german resettlement program exist on the subject : "Heimkehrer".

The SS-RuSHA was in charge of this program, and we should note that it was partly a disaster, with ethnic Germans from all over eastern Europe coming back to the Reich, but most ended in transit camps for the duration of the war.

Hi,

the artist is Willy Planck (1870-1956) from Stuttgart.
He was famous for his children book artworks.

I recall having seen this image on a documentary also... with regards to ethnic german resettlement program as Vince has pointed out.

A decent size too...

Someone got these two recently that I authenticated. They offered more money than I did.....

They were the smallest sizes printed.

Wallonie poster in german

Hi every body,
I've never seen this one before

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=745350

I thought it might have been intended in the part of Belgium where German is spoken. But a friend pointed out to me that in this region of Belgium, people were already assimilated the Germanic people and were consequently conscripted into the regular German army like the Germans.
My question then is why this poster is in German?

[FrenchVolunteer]

Hi,

no, this poster is part of a visual collection of dozen and dozen of different posters that were put in various locations as propaganda posters.
They were printed to dozen of thousand of copies, and most are available in various languages for occupied european countries.

This poster is not uncommon, a few were proposed in the last months.

See You

Vince
