Preface
Propaganda of Hitler's NSDAP is
combined here with the allied propaganda in a chronology. Readers can
see a survey about poster propaganda from 1933 to 1945. You can see
exactly fantasy and reality of the propaganda agitation. Surprisingly
also "American" propaganda is very racist.
Presentation of this material is only permitted for documentary
purposes.

 Picture
card of NSDAP for NS party convention at Nuremberg of 1927
A young soldier is holding a swastika flag which is almost bigger than
the soldier.
Note the "red city" in the background. This seems to be an allusion to
the communists who had their centers in the German towns. It seems that
the standard bearer has not much control resp. his tenure is a tenure
which was normal at the NS party conventions.
All in all the picture card is giving the impression that there is not
needed much change to convert the communist town into a swastika town,
because the red color of the town and the red color of the flag are
almost the same. And the main subject was to conquer the communist
centers in the country. A gray sky is promising a coming
"thunderstorm", and the political leaders partially also wanted this
"thunderstorm", but partially they want Hitler only as a provisional government...

Poster
of NSDAP in Weimar Republic with the text: "Brake the Dawes' chains,
list 10, Hitler's movement" (orig. German: "Brecht die Dawes-Ketten,
Liste
10, Hitler-Bewegung", 1928
After the French occupation
of the Ruhr Basin Dawes was an allied financial expert fixing again the
reparation of Versailles Treaty on 16 August 1924 in a Reparation's
Commission. At the same time Reichsbank was put under international
control and Germany was given a bond. At the same time all this brought
more German dependence from the "USA".
(from:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawes_Plan, 2007)
So, after Versailles Treaty and after Ruhr Basin occupation the right
national wing parties had new stuff to draw Germany "in chains" as one
can see it here. Germany is clenching it's fist as a symbol that forces
in Germany are blocked and cannot develop. But "develop" in these times
means to make war and to control colonies. There are some exotic towers
on the poster in the background. Smoking chimneys are the symbol for jobs. The red sky is
clearly the color of NSDAP.

Posters during inflation times
1930 to 1932 - Hitler benefits from poverty
Industrials' policy after stock
market crash of 1929 was without mercy. The allied only gave in on 9
July 1932 that Germany did not have to pay any reparations any more.
Industrials of the world let sink the whole world into a deep
depression, with millions of jobless persons electing extreme parties
in their plight because the mainstream parties became untrustworthy and
no one than the extreme parties promised solutions for the plight. Add
to this also a big part of the elite did not want any more their Weimar
Republic and wanted to have an other Emperor installed. For this
development Hitler should be a provisional government. At the same time
communists worked for their world revolution and they had their centers
in the German towns which were attacked directly by NSDAP for years.
So,
there was missing the path of common sense, and since 1923 the
population in Germany was starving another plight again.

Poster
of NSDAP in Weimar Republic saying "The red war" ("Der
rote Krieg"), 1930 apr.
Text: "The red war - mother
or comrade? - Human being or machine? - God or devil? - Blood or gold?
-
Race or bastard? - Folksong or jazz? - National Socialism or
Bolshevism?"
(orig. German:
"Der rote Krieg - Mutter
oder Genossin? - Mensch oder Maschine? - Gott oder Teufel? - Blut oder
Gold? - Rasse oder Mischling? - Volkslied oder Jazz? -
Nationalsozialismus oder Bolschewismus?")
The term "The red war": In Weimar Republic there was an eternal
propaganda war between the right wing parties (Loyals (to the Emperor)
and National Socialists) against the communist parties. Both sides had
the most aggressive color red as a base in their flags, and it's the most aggressive color following color psychology. Therefore
there was defined a "red war".
The poster presents National Socialist characteristics in comparison
with communists and "USA". National Socialists try to present their
racist ideas as positive elements representing communists generally as
comrade or machines saying that a mother in communism would be no
mother any more but a "comrade", and that humans in communism would be
no humans any more but "machines". This communism would be from
"devil", and National Socialism would be from "God". Then are listed
some elements against "USA": "Full-blooded" humans would be stronger
than "mixed-blooded", this means that one would be on the winner's side
with the racists. There is listed the "full-blooded" folk song against
jazz music of the "mixed-blooded", as an allusion of the black
musicians in white sex clubs in the "USA". The comparison between
"full-blooded" blood and gold is an allusion to the international stock
exchange with it's clans making millions of dollars with insider
knowledge and financial tricks (there were also some Jewish persons
winning with stock exchange speculations in the "USA", the allusion is
headed against them). So, the poster is mixing communist and "US"
structures but is asking at the end only about "communism or
Bolshevism". So, the poster is equating communism and "USA", resp. the
energy against communism also should fight against "USA". Some terms
like "machine" or "gold" also will be terms of National Socialism in
Second World War (soldiers as machines, looted gold etc.), and the
"full-blooded" are mentally always limited compared with the
"mixed-blooded"...

Poster
of NSDAP in Weimar Republic calling "Hitler for President of the Reich"
(orig. German: "Hitler
wird Reichspräsident"), 1932
Hitler personally claims on
the poster: "We will take the fate of the nation into our hands" (orig.
German: "Wir nehmen das Schicksal der Nation in die Hände").
The poster is agitating with swastika flags and a portrait, besides can
be seen industrial plants representing jobs. Hitler's right hand is
alluring the voter with it's forefinger. The gestures are simple an
clear.

Poster
of NSDAP in Weimar Republic "Open the door for freedom - List 2", July 1932
NSDAP claims: "And now:
Open the gate to freedom! A strong hand has to steer! Come out from the
swamp! Come on with the forces of reconstruction!"
(orig. German: "Und nun:
Stosst auf das Tor zur Freiheit! Eine starke Hand ans Steuer! Heraus
aus dem Sumpf! Vorwärts mit den Kräften des Wiederaufbaus!")
The word "freedom" is again taken from slavery for reparations (Young
plan had foreseen work for reparation until 1988) which was lifted only
on 9 July 1932. The world wide political situation was in fact a
"swamp", and the persons could hardly find work and the families had
hunger at home in masses. The poster first is claiming "freedom" of
full stomachs against the mainstream parties which have become
absolutely untrustworthy. The swastika flag on the town hall is
announced, and everybody knew of it.
But the poster also has an absolute military dimension for "freedom"
and where the open "gate" is leading. There is a queue of soldiers
(left) and there is the population with a Hitler salute (right). So,
this poster also is an indirect warning from the war projects of a
National Socialist government. And everybody knew of it...

Poster of NSDAP in Weimar
Republic "Work and bred by National Socialism, list 1", with swastika
moon, 1932
The poster claims that with
a vote for list 1 there would be "work and bread". The smoking chimney
is the symbol for working industry and jobs. At the sky is a swastika
moon. This means that with National Socialism will be work for day and
night as in a dream during the night. So, NSDAP is representing itself
as a "dream" for the population without saying that the waking up will
be in a big war. But the war is drawn well on other posters, and it's
also written in "My Struggle" (orig. German: "Mein Kampf") on the last
20 pages.

It's always disastrous when stomachs are

three years, but Hitler did not receive even 50% of the votes.

Anti Hitler poster of
Weimar Republic, 1932: "I will promise all, and won't fulfill

Social Democrats, 1932

Not only Hitler had his profits
from poverty of crisis times. But also the communists were in the
streets giving bread to the people and could perform their vote
catching with the simplest methods. The main stream parties as the
Social Democrats did not have a big chance with it's standards. Therefore they
made propaganda with it's enemy...

Death is coming
with Hitler in locksteps: There are painted marching skeletons. But
this kind of posters was not allowed for much time any more. Since the
foundation of the Third Reich since February 1933 National Socialist
propaganda machine was working and only National Socialists were
permitted, with posters, picture cards, stamps, and neon signs and so
on.
since 1933
Germany: Goebbels'ss propaganda: methods
-- always repetition of certain thesis
-- simplification of complicated issues, e.g. the terms of Marxism,
democracy, "international Jewry"
-- headwords like living space (German: Lebensraum), plutocracy, stab
in one's back, "never capitulate"
-- concealing of certain details
-- concealing of defeats with certain words, e.g. defect movements
(German: "Absatzbewegung")
-- distortion of issues
-- concentration on focal points and neglecting others
-- technique of lies as for example: "We want the real peace" (German:
"Wir wollen den wahren Frieden")
-- wrong denials (Ploetz, p.764).
| Gestures:

Hitler's speech,

because a Hitler's speach was a warranty for a big audience.
|
Hitler's speach pointing into a direction: First it was going "up",
then all was plunged into ruin.
|
Hitler's gestures are part of the propaganda. Hitler did all to be
"loved" by his public combining human gestures with it's speeches. And
the masses let manipulate themselves meaning that Hitler would be
"human"... and Goebbels did exactly the same...
German NS agents bribing foreign
newspapers
so the foreign newspapers were writing in a German friendly way, e.g.
in the "USA" the bribe was by the Railway
Information Service (Ploetz, p.763).
And there was allways anti
Bolshevists NS propaganda.

Poster "Whole Germany is listening

Hitler is actuating the
construction of a "people's receiver" (German: "Volksempfaenger" (VE),
the VE 301 (referring to the Hitler election of 30 January 1933,
30-1-1933).
(see:
http://www.tuberadio.homepage.t-online.de/ve.htm)
In these times the radio "people's
receiver" is the "modern" condition for mobilization of the masses,
also in other countries.

1934
Air raid protection
 |
Poster 3R "Air raid protection is
self protection" (orig. German: "Luftschutz ist Selbstschutz"), 1934
This voter's slogan
"Yes" (orig.
German: "Ja") for 19 August 1934 refers to the vote about a merger of
the offices of the President of the Reich with the Chancellor of the
Reich. The Reich's Air Raid Association (German: Reichsluftschutzbund
(RLB)) gave out the slogan of "Yes" (German: "Ja").
(see:
http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
Basically this
poster shows already here the situation of "David" against Goliath: A
bowman shall fight bombers. There are many bombers, and by this one can
consider these air planes as an allied coalition. So, there is the
Reich (bowmen) against the rest of the world, and this fight will be
fought with unqualified means (bow against air plane). Another
interpretation would be that the air protection would be as easy as a
children's bowman against all bombers. Probably the poster had this
effect. There can be seen also religious emotions in the poster abused
for the war by a cathedral in the background. Religious feelings are
abused for war resp. the air protection has to protect the cathedral, a
systematic propaganda trick coming up again and again.
|
 |
Poster 3R "The fighter in the air
protection" (orig. German: "Der
Kämpfer im Luftschutz"),
Goering, 1935
This is the excerpt of a Goering's speech reinforcing the consciousness
for an air protection in the population. This population is committed
to
air protection service with the claim: "The fighters of the air
protection have as much responsibility and honor as the soldier at the
front"
(orig. German:
"Der Kämpfer im Luftschutz hat so viel
Verantwortung und so viel hre wie jeder Soldat an der Front").
So, the official duty of air protection was - in it's meaning -
equaled to the military service in the army (from: "Civil air
protection" (orig. German: "Der zivile
Luftschutz", 2nd edition, 1937, p.133).
(see:
http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
At the same time this text of 1935 makes already clear where will go
the Third Reich: Germany will be bombed and destroyed, in spite of
Knight's Cross and swastika flags.
Also other countries had their preparation for air protection, but not
so systematically as in Third Reich Germany...
|
 |
Poster 3R "Air protection RLB"
(orig. German: "Luftschutz RLB" with spear and shield
The air protection posters hang out
at all possible public places like railway stations, post office
branches, banks, restaurants etc. Officially this was "enlightenment"
of
the population. "Shield bearers" in Third Reich were an important
symbol for the combination of artistic design of posters with a high
valued propagandistic validity. This was one of the patterns of
political posters.
(see:
http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
The shield bearer is taken from the wars of Stone Age. So, it's clear
where will lead the Third Reich: There will come another Stone Age. Ah,
everybody knew...

Poster of 3R
"Air protection money lottery" (orig. German: "Luftschutz RLB
Geldlotterie", 1935
NS regime had
no scruple to combine the air protection propaganda with other
propaganda in combination with the money instinct. Here Air protection
was selling lottery tickets of a "First money lottery", and there
should be given winnings of all in all 250,000 Reichsmark, and every
body buying a lottery ticket at the Air protection was given a "Art's
review" ("Kunstblatt"). By this the fright of bombings was combined
with the money instinct to conceal the fright of the coming losses of a
future war...

The Air protection
service was a duty also for the women.
(see:

The painted
person is similar to a front-line soldier (the woman has no breasts), and the official shown
equipment with helmet and gas mask container probably is shown to make
the air protection helpers more equal to the soldiers, at least
according to the status.
Comparing
with original photos there can be seen helmets,
but no gas mask containers.

Every big event in the
Third Reich got "it's picture card".
So, the manipulation is coming by mail service into the households.
 |
Third Reich picture card of party
convention with Hitler's bust at the stadium's entrance, 1934
The manipulation of this picture
card is obvious: Hitler is the new Caesar, and he wants his place in
the Walhalla hall. But there is a difference: Caesar was a war criminal
and a liar, but he won all wars at the end and could prove a right
feeling for his considerations, but Hitler had no personality but was a
blocked Puer aeternus without any consideration of reality since 1941.
Ok, it's not forbidden to take Caesar as it's model until today...

The propaganda film of Leni
Riefenstahl shows the proceedings of NSDAP party convention of 1934

Hitler, referring to the proceedings in First World War and Versailles
Treaty.
The film is a pioneering work for further propaganda films in the Reich
and abroad and gets some awards.
(see: http://www.answers.com/topic/triumph-of-the-will)
But basically the term "Triumph of the Will" is very problematic
because with this term it's not said that there are also situations in
life in which there has to be reduced the will to reach a good
solution. And the word "middle course" does not appear at all...

The "people's

From the beginning in air
raid protection there is a heavy propaganda about possible attacks with
chemical combat agents. In June 1937 there is promoted a "German

"enhanced" during the following years yet.

Annexation of Austria
NS propaganda for a "Yes"

many tricks. But Austrian population has no idea what the annexation
will mean. It will mean a reorganization of whole Austria and the
installation of a German NS administration in Austria. Already three
months after the annexation the majority of the Austrians is regrets
the
annexation bitterly.

Goebbels's
propaganda:
The English guaranty for Poland is presented as a policy of encirclement
(Ploetz, p.765),
and by this is justified the abolishment of non-aggression pact with
Poland. The documents and declarations of British, French and Polish
government are concealed almost completely (Ploetz, p.765).
Summer 1939
Goebbels's
propaganda:
strong press campaign against Poland
(Ploetz, p.764)
Since 1919 Poland is a topic for
aggressions in Germany since East Prussia is separated from German main
lands, and since a part of German population was expelled from West
Prussia in 1919 / 1920. Since many years Hitler wants to build an
exterritorial motorway by Poland to East Prussia which the Polish
government denies. In Poland also Germans are expelled, and both
governments cannot find any solution.

The eagle is shown in an aureole

(and also in other propaganda). Looking at the eagle there provoked a
lot of religious feelings, and the people of these times hardly can
resist to this. The manipulation is an absolute one and indirectly
sanctifies war and militarism in the Third Reich.
The "General party congress of peace" was canceled after outbreak of
war with Poland.

military aims
The aim:
-- to raise the will to fight
-- to undermine the enemy.
Means:
-- isolation of the population from press products from abroad
-- prohibition of listening of the radio of the enemy (Ploetz, p.762).

not allow any motorway from central Germany to Danzig, and the trains
to Danzig had to be sealed and the curtains had to be shut. No German
was allowed to look out of the train. So German propaganda had no
problem to justify German occupation of Western Poland in 1939.

Polish atrocities against Germans are used by Goebbels's propaganda to

Bromberg bloody Sunday, 3 September 1939, victims and foreign
journalists
Since then the murder of Germans at Bromberg is used by
German propaganda against Poland, and propaganda functions perfectly
for a total occupation of Western Poland. The polish side meant that
German army would consist of paper soldiers it a "march to Berlin"
would be easy. High Polish army members also meant that the French
would put
into motion their armies to Southern Germany and Hitler would get into
a two-front war now already. But these were all Polish false reports.

Churchill personally is blamed for
sinking of "Athenia" by German propaganda because there were many

German side in naval war wanted to interrupt English-"American"

submarines shot without warning English cargo ships.

Finland war
Finland war has a very
important meaning for the mis performance of propaganda. Red Army
cannot
win against clever Finnish skiing soldiers. Stalin's Red Army cannot
advance and is defeated with some little won territories. This provokes
all Western propaganda to the conclusion that the Red Army is weak and
easy to defeat. Consequently all governments underestimate the Red Army
thinking that Wehrmacht could reach Moscow in 8 or 12 weeks. And Hitler
means that Soviet Union could be defeated also without England or
without Japan. But this was a big fault...
Finland makes peace with Russia and gives in leaving some little
territories to Russia. With this peace in spring 1940 Finland is
shocking all Europe, and NS regime in Berlin means that Finland would
drop out as alliance partner against communist Russia.

Poster
of 3R "The enemy sees your light. Darken!" (orig. German: "Der Feind
sieht dein Licht.
Verdunkeln!"), since 1940 about
The poster is really saying what means war: A skeleton on an air plane
is symbolizing the dead, and the ball in it's hand is the bomb.
At
the same time the scenery is absolutely unreal because the sky is
cloud-covered, but air raids were performed mostly with clear sky. So,
the clouds are a symbol for another "thunderstorm" coming up over
Germany, resp. the poster claims that the enemy had hidden himself in
the clouds, or the enemy had brought the thunderstorm clouds to
Germany. That's all absolute nonsense because Hitler was the one who
wanted the war, together with some industrialists from abroad.
The facts are other ones:
The air raids were foreseeable for years resp. the whole world was
waiting for the "technological development" to execute an "air war".
For
this "air war" Hitler has much too less antiaircraft defense, he has
only propeller-driven aircrafts, and the jet fighter is available
since 1939 but is not in use because of the "protection of the
pilots". And by all this, death is in fact coming over Germany. One
can ask why the jet fighter was not used since 1939...

Leaflet in the 3R "This
house is badly darkened" ("Dieses
Haus
ist schlecht
verdunkelt"), since 1940 appr.
During darkening there were
guards walking through the streets controlling the darkening of every
window if any light would be visible. Houses with failing darkening
were noted and fixed a posting with the blaming text: "This house is
badly darkened" (German: "Dieses Haus ist schlecht verdunkelt!"). So
police spy society was developed on and on and it can be admitted that
this procedure also was performed in other countries and also on the
allied side with the exception of "USA" which had no air raid with the
exception of Pearl Harbor in Pacific.
Text: "This house is badly darkened! By this not only the residents of
this house are in danger, but also the neighbors. The enemy drops it's
bombs where a light can be seen. Air raid guard and residents are
wanted providing darkening of the house as fast as possible and
absolutely completely. This posting will be removed only when all flats
and the stair house - also to the court's side - will be darkened
perfectly."
(orig. German:
"Dieses Haus ist schlecht verdunkelt! Dadurch sind nicht nur
seine Bewohner, sondern auch die Nachbarn gefährdet. Der Feind
wirft seine Bomben dort ab, wo er einen Lichtschein bemerkt.
Luftschutzwart und Hausbewohner werden aufgefordert, selbst dafür zu
sorgen, dass auch in diesem Hause die Verdunkelung schnellstens und
restlos durchgeführt wird. Dieser Anschlag wird erst entfernt werden,
wenn alle Wohnungen und das Treppenhaus - auch nach der Hofseite -
einwandfrei verdunkelt sind.")

Text: "It could be confirmed that the hostile air planes in western
parts of the country are attacking only during the night and let drop
their bombs without any concept where can be seen a light. So everybody
has it's duty to darken it's dwellings as fast as possible in it's own
interest and in the interest of the whole folk to beware it from any
harm from the air. What counts above all for the border region also
counts for the home land. There has to be omitted also all that could
provoke an intrusion in the night and a bombing provoked by any target."
(orig. German:
Text: "Es ist festgestellt
worden, dass die feindlichen Flieger im
westlichen
Grenzgebiet fast ausschliesslich nachts angreifen und ihre Bomben dort
planlos abwerfen, wo sie einen Lichtschein erkennen können. Es ist
deshalb Pflicht eines jeden, die Verdunklung schnellstens durchzuführen
im eigenen Interesse sowie im Interesse des gesamten Volkes, das es
gilt, vor jedem Schaden aus der Luft zu bewahren. Was besonders für das
Grenzgebiet gilt, gilt in dem gleichen Masse für das Heimatgebiet. Auch
dort muss alles vermieden werden, was bei nächtlichem Einflug des
Gegners irgendein Ziel für seinen Bombenwurf bieten könnte."
(see: http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/bunker2b.htm)
This situation was at the beginning of air raid war when English air
planes arrived German air space but did not know where they were, so
they let drop their bombs on isolated light targets.
The idea to prevent air raids by preventing war was not in the program
of the NS regime. And many criminal governments mean until now (2010)
that air raids would be a method of politics...

German eagle is taking
territories in Europe as far as possible. The flags are moving in
colons in lockstep like a wall. There is also a soldier's song with the
same title...
Until August 1940 NS regime
occupied the European countries Czechia, Western Poland, Denmark,
Norway, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, and France, and is administrating
the former colonies of France in Africa. Far East with Indonesia,
Vietnam and Cambodia is given to Japan. The Axis Powers are forcing a
"axis unification" with a common frontier between Germany and Japan in
India (see: Valentin
Falin: Zweite Front), and communism should be backed behind
Ural Mountains. That far should fly the eagle yet. This cannot come out
well. But the propagandists mean that since the Finland war the Red
Army would be a heap of caos and Wehrmacht could occupy Moscow in 8 to
12 weeks. That's why Stalin is working with Japan's new government
since Hitler Stalin pact for a nonaggression pact - and Hitler does not
know about this...

William Joyce, portrait
Hitler is waiting on and on that Churchill will be with
Hitler's Germany for the projected military campaign against Russia,
but Churchill leaved Hitler against Russia alone. Churchill thinks in
another way: When Hitler will be able to exploit the natural resources
of Russia, so it will never be possible to win against Hitler any
more...
(among others from: Valentin Falin: Second Front (German: Zweite Front)
And the Hitler fool is performing the military campaign against Russia
in spite of all, although Japan and England are not part of it and
although England even has it's position against Germany.

was also "interesting" when it will stay a democracy, because

The Battle
of Britain: Large-scale attack on London
The Battle of Britain is
declared by German propaganda as a "retaliatory attack" (Ploetz, p.769).
English population gets a staying impression of German bombings against
English towns. London population has to fly to tube tunnels. Parts of
London's population took the flight to the north of England where they
were not either sure. English towns without air raid defense were
exterminated systematically by German fire storms. Resistance in the
English population against Nazi Germany was rising and called for
revenge. English Royal Air Force was fighting for it's life, and
England only can breathe freely when Hitler is making it's military
campaign against communist Russia. Royal Air Force succeeds with first
carpet bombing against German town in 1942 only, but then with
precise destruction, with fire hurricanes.

Poster of SU "Stalin is taking care
of all of us", 1940
The poster is one single big lie.
Stalin regime had tremendous problems with it's army. Stalin let murder
a big part of the officers in 1937, and against Finland he had lost a
war. After the nonaggression pact with the Third Reich Stalin had to
fulfill the treaty delivering natural resources and corn that was
missing for the own population. So, this poster is a big "sedative
pill" before the "big storm". And the whole world knew what will come
after the occupation of France.
Stalin only could confirm his government hoping that other neighbors
would not make war against Russia. So he could contract a nonaggression
agreement with Japan - which was the Japanese revenge against Hitler
for his nonaggression pact with Russia in 1939. So he could prevent a pincer
movement (when Germany and Japan would attack Russia at the same time),
and it could be foreseen that Hitler would turn into a second
"Napoleon".

which the lower class and the middle class can hardly resist. Add to
this the church was also praying for the Reich, for the war, and for
the victory - against communism.

Leaflet RLB showing the

There were meetings with
demonstrations teaching how firebombs could be extinguished which had
hit the attic.
(see: http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
NS regime tried to suppress the danger and forced the population to
empty the attics so nothing could catch fire there. In the case of an
impact of a fire bomb one should run into the attic with a basket of
water in the hands, one should take the bombs into the hands and to put
into the water. Since 1942 there were "fire storms" also in Germany
with over 1000 bombs and all defense with water baskets was in vain.
|
The big enigma will be for ever
why Hitler only used the jet fighter only in 1945. The justification
"protection of the pilots" from the high acceleration must be a faked
reason, because the jet fighters also could accelerate in a slow way.
It seems that Hitler wanted to see the population suffering, so the
population would develop more fury against the enemy yet.

-- there was published a "Redbook" of Antikomintern describing the

-- there was the claim that the Russian side would prepare attacks
against Germany (Ploetz, S.767).

will turn into a second Napoleon...
since April 1941 apr.
German
propaganda in Russia against the communist system is not taking place
and is a missed opportunity for the German propaganda
Ploetz:
"Concerning the people of
USSR (Ploetz, p.767) the propagandistic chance of an influence with
anti Stalin propaganda cannot be used because Hitler's madness of
Eastern primitiveness makes it impossible for him to see the
psychologic situation of these populations. Only to the non-Slavic
populations (Caucasus, Crimea) there is sometimes a good propaganda
instigating some independence movements.
Also during the later times of the war it's not possible for the German
propaganda to use the starting possibilities of anti Stalin propaganda
(Vlasov army) because Hitler prohibits any support for such movements.
So, there stays unused a big chance of German psychological warfare.
And also atrocity propaganda against Bolshevism - which is partly true
- does not change this position." (Ploetz, p.768)
(orig. German:
"Gegenüber
den Völkern der UdSSR (Ploetz, S.767) kann die propagandistische
Chance
einer Beeinflussung im antistalinistischen Sinne nicht genutzt werden,
da
Hitlers Wahn vom östlichen Untermenschentum ein echtes Erfassen der
psychologischen Situation dieser Völker verhindert. Lediglich gegenüber
den
nichtslawischen Völkern (Kaukasus, Krim) ist zeitweilig eine
geschicktere
Propaganda, die deren Selbständigkeitsbestrebungen anspricht, möglich.
Auch
in den späteren Phasen des Krieges gelingt es nicht, die immer
noch
vorhandenen Ansatzmöglichkeiten (Wlassow-Armee) propagandistisch
auszuwerten,
weil Hitler jede Unterstützung dieser Bestrebungen verbietet.
So
bleibt eine grosse Chance für die deutsche psychologische
Kriegsführung
ungenutzt. Daran ändert auch die in bestimmten Abständen immer
wiederkehrende Greuelpropaganda
gegen den Bolschewismus, obwohl z.T. auf Tatsachen beruhend, nichts."

resp. England should be Churchill's grave. Well, it came the other way
round...
Add to this the poster conceals who big the Soviet Union is, and how
little Europe is. The Russian campaign had no chance from the
beginning, when England was not neutral and Japan did not attack Soviet
Union from the east. But Hitler and his generals refused to believe
this as it seems. Perhaps Hitler and his generals also were put under
pressure from abroad because NSDAP was essentially financed from
abroad, and the financers waited for the "reward" now (see: Hitlers Financiers).

Leaflet of 1942 with
leader's words against English bombs 1939-1940
We can see Goering (above), Hitler (in the middle), and Robert Ley
(below).
Goering's leader's word of 9 August 1939:
"We won't hand over the Ruhr basin to one single hostile bomb."
(orig. German:
"Wir werden das Ruhrgebiet auch nicht einer einzigen Bombe feindlicher
Flieger ausliefern.")
Hitler's leader's word of 4 September 1940:
"When British air force is dropping 2 or 3 or 4 thousand kilos of
bombs, so we will drop in one single night 150 000, 180 000, 230 000,
300 000, 400 000 and more kilograms."
(orig. German:
"Wenn die britische Luftwaffe 2 oder 3 oder 4 Tausend Kilo Bomben
wirft, dann werfen wir in einer Nacht 150 000, 180 000, 230 000, 300
000, 400 000 und mehr Kilogramm.")
Ley's leader's word of 20 August 1940:
"The way to England is free, - Germany has got dominance in the air
space!"
(orig. German:
"Der Weg nach England ist frei, - Deutschland besitzt die Vorherrschaft
in der Luft!")
For the urban population
the lies were only too obvious. Meanwhile in 1942 the English air force was
performing commandos with 1000 bombs. One by one the centers of the
towns were destroyed by "fire storms", Cologne, Hamburg and the towns
in the Ruhr basin, with murder of civil population without strategic
sense. In many cases strategic industries were spared from destruction
until 1944.The center of Berlin could not be destroyed in one night
because of it's massive stony construction. Berlin had nights of
bombing for months.

There was always gas mask
propaganda, but gas was not applied. Churchill threatened that he would
apply gas against German towns when German troops would apply gas at
the eastern front against Russia. But the problem was evident: The
troops did not want to enter a contaminated town with the danger also
to be contaminated by the gas. So there was only gas propaganda, there
was one mustard gas case in Poland, and there were gas accidents.

of
3R "Come with us to Children evacuations", since 1942
Children evacuations
(German: Kinderlandverschickung, KLV) to the country side were
performed by NS People's Welfare (German: NS-Volkswolfahrt, NSV) and
basically the idea was to give poor children the chance of a relaxing
holiday trip. Because of the increasing bombings since September 1940
children between three and 14 years were evacuated from the towns to
safe territories under leadership of "Reichsjugendführer" and leader of
Hitler Youth, Baldur von Schirach. In the KLV evacuation camps was
performed a corresponding mental manipulation in the sense of National
Socialism.
(see: http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
The poster is from 1942 or 1943. Children evacuations were not a duty
but were recommended.

The poster has many manipulative elements. Once again there is an
aureole, this time coming from the eagle, lightening Germany, resp.
Germany stays in a sea of beams. At the same time German eagle is
enthroned as an absolute power protecting the air space. the wing
hanging down is marking the frontier to Asia pretending a posture of
defense against Russia. All is a lie: The eagle is in a two-front war,
the air space is not protected at all, and communism will - also
because of Hitler's stubbornness - push forward up to Berlin. The lie
of such posters will be in mind in Europe for a long time yet...

in England: Hitler as "Maneater" on skulls, 1942-1943
The poster presents Hitler
as a bloodthirsty maneater gnawing at a leg's bone. There are skulls
around him representing different European countries suffering Nazi
occupation (France, Greece, Yugoslavia, Poland, Belgium) or which have
adopted some Nazi rule (Rumania / Romania). The sky is painted in a
dark blue as it is before coming the night, the soil is orange as it
would be a mixture of yellow (sand of the desert) with red (blood). The
poster is predicting: The countries with NS law are in a desert without
food and without water. They were forced by Hitler there. There will be
many deaths, and the night is coming for these countries, and the
culprit is Hitler alone, this says the poster.
Hitler had had all possibilities to end the war and to install a status
quo in Europe. But he even rejected Stalin's peace offers, with the
simple justification that he did not want another Versailles tribunal
against Germany. And then came the night for Germany...
And many of Hitler's subordinates would have had the power to declare
Hitler as an ill person and to make him fall - but the illness "victory
madness" and the illness "war" are not recognized as illnesses until
today...
And Hitler had Parkinson,
had terrible amalgam in his
mouth (provoking nerve damage) and was committing drug abuse.
Well, what comes out when Germany is in the hands of a Parkinson man,
you will see below...

Propaganda posters of
"USA"
 |
Poster
of the "USA": "United We Win", since 1942
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This
propaganda was necessary to convince the peace movements to be part of
the armament against the NS regime and against Japan. "USA" were in
danger to be encircled by Germany and Japan.
(see: Valentin Falin: Zweite Front)
Well, considering the collaboration of
"US" industry with German Nazi industry this poster is absolutely
obsolete...
The poster also has a racial aspect. A
black and a white man are composing an air plane cockpit. The blacks
should help the whites winning the war. But at the end the racial laws
were not abolished and equality between blacks and whites was
introduced during the 1970s only. The white race and it's colonial
government on the native's continent were absolutely unfaithful so, not
only referring to this poster.
Natives are missing totally on this poster although "USA" are on
native's soil...
|
|
Poster
in the "USA": "Avenge Pearl
Harbor! Our bullets will do it", 1942 appr.
Now the white "US" government called for revenge of Pearl Harbor. The
poster shows some frightening details. We see air planes with red
points marked as Japanese. The white man is swimming with it's life
jacket in the sea symbolizing the situation of "USA" which would drown
if there was no resistance. But the white man stays alone, without
blacks and without natives. So it's clear who is giving the commands in
the war, and it's clear that blacks and natives will not count in the
statistics. The stars on the life jacket are the symbol of the
occupation of the native's continent. Women do not exist either on the
poster. The raised fist of the man is symbol for his fury. The man has
got white hairs and a white pointed beard and has got a Caesar's hook
nose. This combination is very rare, and every element represents a
characteristic: White hair for wisdom, the pointed beard for Asian
wisdom which has to be defeated, and Caesar's hook nose stands for the
future victory. The sky is yellow representing the hope. The poster is
stimulating the viewer to copy the man.
Well, considering the collaboration of
"US" industry with German Nazi industry this poster is absolutely
obsolete...
|
 |
Poster
in the
"USA": "Our Carelessness - Their
Secret Weapon - Prevent Forest Fires", 1942 appr.
"USA" are in a two-front war (like Hitler Germany), against the Nazi symbol and against the
Japanese flag with the red sun, whereby the "American" continent never
is attacked. Anyhow white "US" government means that it is it's right
to erase town by town on European continent and on Japanese islands.
This is justified by the slogan "Prevent Forest Fires". The poster
indicates that there would be big fires in the "USA". But this is not
at all the case, but the fact is the contrary: The "USA" are erasing
whole towns in Europe and are provoking fires in Europe, and later also
in Vietnam etc. With this poster is beginning global destructive policy
of "USA", from Europe over Vietnam up to Iraq.
And, considering the collaboration of
"US" industry with German Nazi industry this poster is absolutely
obsolete...

 |
Poster
in the "USA": Women's brigade WAAC, 1942
On 15 May 1942 President Roosevelt signed a law for a foundation of
Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps (WAAC).
The women replace the men on working places like driver, parachute
production, translator, cook, weather service, air space control.
(see:
http://ncmuseumofhistory.org/workshops/womenshistory/SESSION1.html)
WAAC was set up because "US" army was in danger of lack of men. The
soldiers themselves did not like WAAC. They feared that women also
would become women soldiers and would harm their "maleness", or they
feared the loss of a war safe job.
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Army_Corps)
The sentence: "This is my war too!" with a white blond women with a
flag with stars and stripes in the background also reminds the proud
"American" times since 1776.
But, considering the collaboration of "US"
industry with German Nazi industry this poster is absolutely obsolete...
|
|
Poster in the
"USA": "Buy Victory Bonds", 1942-1945
The poster shows clearly
the two-front war of the "USA" between the swastika and the Japanese
flag with the red sun. There are several propaganda tricks: Third Reich
and Japan are represented as dark, spider like hands. Well, for many
persons spider is provoking anxiety. These spiders want to snatch at
the white woman with a white baby, whereby the Japanese hand is already
touching the white woman, not so the German hand. Why: Japanese bombs
fale on Hawaii which was "US" territory, but German bombs have not
dropped on the "USA" yet. But now the main manipulation comes: The
"American" white woman and above all the baby are symbol for innocence,
as "USA" would be innocent for this situation. But "US" industrials
were essentially helping Hitler's war machinery (Henry Ford, antiknock agent, bonds etc.). All
in all the poster is a big falsification of reality. And the poster is
provoking the lowest male instincts to protect women and child from
bugs, all in all very racist statement.
Well, considering the truth about criminal racist warmonger "USA",
"USA" is the spider since 1942...

since 1942
English air
raids on German territory - German propaganda tactics
--
system to conceal everything
--
system to juggle with shot statistics
--
stressing the character of terror of the attacks (Ploetz, p.769).
That
all war is terror - this was not allowed to think. Practically whole
Eastern Europe and half of European Russia were in ruins by German
bombs, and this was hidden by the nazis to their folks what they were
doing there...
since 1942 appr.
-- Greece:
suffers a harsh Italian occupation policy
-- western
Yugoslavia: suffers a harsh Italian occupation policy
-- Serbia: suffers a harsh German
occupation policy
Harsh occupation policy means harsh revenge reactions, kin liability,
10 murders for 1 murder, deportations, camps with disastrous conditions
etc.
The consequence of the
harsh occupation policies was that German propaganda in later times had
almost no success (Ploetz, p.767).

Third Reich propaganda posters
 |
Poster
of 3R "30 January 1933-1943. One fight - one victory" (orig. German:
"30. January 1933-1943. Ein Kampf
- ein Sieg"), 1943
30 January 1943 is 10 years birthday of NS takeover of power. The
poster should be a symbol for 1933 in combination with a military
victory in 1943. After Stalingrad the poster was confiscated.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
The poster is painted very dark, basically not at all typical for a 10
years anniversary. The poster pretends to the viewer that a victory
would be possible by flag marches and Hitler salute, and add to all
this march was in absolute obscurity. In fact Germany was more and more
in "the dark", and also the army (Wehrmacht) was marching more and more
in the dark, and all hope for a victory was a big lie. Already half a
year before in the middle of 1942 it was clear that Hitler would not
win his Russia military campaign when "USA" sent new tanks to communist
Stalin in his Gulag Soviet Union...
|
 |
Picture
card in 3R "Fuehrer orders, and we follow" (German: "Führer befiehl,
wir
folgen"), 1943
This picture card wants to use the defeat of Stalingrad as an
opportunity to claim the absolute servility. The ruins of Stalingrad
are painted in red with the communist flag with the communist star. But
there is the Fuehrer's hand coming with it's mission light. The hand is
coming in an "aureole" (sea of beams) provoking religious feelings in
the viewers soul to which the population of these times hardly can
deprive. The picture card wants to say: When you follow to the Fuehrer,
so you will be "holy", and it's a "holy" war against communism, against
the red towns. Well, so the complete collapse is "holy", and the German
population has to follow the Fuehrer to it's collapse...
|
|
Poster
of 3R "Victory or Bolshevism" (German: "Sieg oder Bolschewismus"),
February 1943
Shortly after the defeat of Stalingrad this poster is coming up
pretending that German population has only the choice between victory
or Bolshevism with caos. Party propagandists ware instructed to post
this poster more than others.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
The poster is a mockery about the proceedings. "Victory" shows a German
blond mother with a blond, long haired daughter in her arms, and the
daughter is making the raised fist as signal for the fight. But many
German towns are already in ruins, and many children are already
separated in children evacuation camps. Bolshevism is painted as a dark
world where people cannot walk any more. They are on the floor bracing
with it's arms, and a dark figure is watching supervising them. Also
this scenery is an absolute lie because the Red Army was always better
organized now and in the back whole Russia was working to supply the
wounded and to produce weapons.
|
|
Poster
of 3R "One fight, one will, one victory at any price" (German: "Ein
Kampf, ein Wille, ein Ziel: Sieg um jeden Preis"), 1943 appr.
The poster shows men in
posture of attack, but the expected deads are missing.
Industry chimneys give much smoke but it's not enough for the big
victory because allied industry is also working at full stretch, but
the poster conceals this fact. The price will be Germany...
All in all it's absolutely sarcastic to speak of a victory yet because
"USA" were helping communist Gulag Soviet Union. So, "US" industry was
supporting both war parties instead of bocking the help for the Third
Reich...
|
|
Poster in 3R: "Adolf Hitler
is the victory" (German: "Adolf Hitler ist der Sieg!")
Victory propaganda of NS
government is sparked off again in 1943 referring to a decisive battle
on the Russian front, with many new weapons, with decisive parts from
Switzerland. Slowly but steadily German population is realizing that
drowning of it's Empire is coming when Hitler would go on like this,
because victories are hardly reported, and "USA" is supporting Stalin's
Red Army with weapon supplies over the Norwegian Sea and over Iran.
|
 |
Poster
in 3R: "Protect your harvest, this secures victory!" (German: "Schützt
die Ernte, sie sichert
den Sieg!"), in 1943
This poster from "Reichs Association for Avoidance of Damage" (German:
"Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft Schadenverhütung") calls for a prevention
against harvest damages showing how a little fire on the soil in front
of a granary is extinguished. This fire had been provoked by an
unobservant smoking farmer.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
|
 |
Poster
in 3R in Ukraine: "Report to Galician Legion fighting against
Bolshevism" (German: "Melde dich zur
Galizischen Legion zum Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus"), in 1943 appr.
This is a recruitment poster for an SS division of Ukrainian
nationalists. There were other posters in this manner in other NS
occupied countries, e.g. in Holland or in Norway.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
After Stalingrad NS regime had more and more difficulties to fill up
the SS unites because the membership in the SS signified more or less a
safe death. At the end people were forced to enter the SS, e.g.
imprisoning them in a church for three days etc.
|
 |
Poster
in 3R: "The enemy is listening" (German: "Feind hört mit"), in 1943
The shaver says: "When I will tell you this: At..." (German: "Wenn ich
Ihnen das sage: Am... "). Then the poster claims: "The enemy is
listening" (German: "Feind hört mit"). At least six more posters in
this manner were posted.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
The poster simply has the function to provoke anxiety and to blame the
enemy for the projected German defeat. But Hitler had many
possibilities to make peace.
|
 |
Poster
in 3R "Come out with old clothing and shoes" (German: "Heraus mit alten
Spinnstoffen
und Schuhen"), 1943
Third Reich could not win
new natural resources and now was dependent on a recycling system. By
this the population was instructed to hand out old clothes and shoes
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm) |
 |
Poster of 3R "At the end
will be victory" (German: "Am Ende steht der
Sieg"), 1943 appr.
One more time German eagle
stands in an "aureole" (sea of beams) provoking again religious
feelings in the viewer's soul to which the ordinary population cannot
resist. The poster suggests that "victory" believers will be "holy".
Swastika stands in a circle of victory laurel. The colors are hold in
romantic colors of a sunrise promising a good sunny day. The eagle is
placed where the sun is, so the Nazi eagle should be the sun itself.
At the end of the war there will be a victory in fact, the victory over
war. Europe of 1945 is abolishing war, and - with the exception of
stupid Yugoslavia - this motto was kept until today (2010) and is supported by a
common currency. This in fact is a victory, but without swastika, and
without aureole.

Poster
in 3R Austria: "Help winning as air intelligence assistant" (German:
"Hilf siegen als
Luftnachrichtenhelferin"), 1943 appr.
Basically this poster is
more or less neutral, but it discovers the hopelessness of NS
government depending on women in the war which basically never had been
foreseen.

German
propaganda announcing "revenge" against England: preparation of first

German
propaganda: slogan "Fortress Europe"
Since
this time Nazi propaganda pretends protecting Europe from Bolshevist

fight (Ploetz, p.767).
since 1943 appr.
German
propaganda against England and "USA": They would be steered by
"International Jewry"

"International Jewry" is declared "world's enemy" to provoke even
more resistance in German population
and: The western allied are presented as assistants and promoters of
Bolshevism, and "Christianity" of England and "USA" is called a
"hypocrisy" (Ploetz, p.768).
since January 1943
After defeat of Stalingrad German
propaganda is concealing and concealing
-- German
propaganda is going on stressing "superiority of German soldiers"
-- German propaganda is going on stressing "superiority" of German
leadership, now in the defense
-- there is concealment and disguising, in change with brutal
presentation of the reality, provoking a shock in the population and
provoking more fighting in the population (Ploetz, p.769).

sickle. But it's concealed that basically Hitler wanted to do the same
with Russia...

Poster
in 3R: "Scrap paper collection 1943", April 1943
Now in Third Reich was lack
of all raw material, also paper, and scrap paper collections were
introduced.
The poster shows joyful children, first of course an Aryan blond boy,
then a brown haired boy, and finally a blond Aryan girl. The children
are carrying big bundles of papers, the first boy also carries a book
and a card case under his arm. So, it seems as if the children would
perform the scrap paper collection. This means that Hitler Youth now
also contributed their share to the war with children from 10 to 13
years old, resp. probably the children were "employed". The grinning of
the boys seems to be a childish joy, or perhaps because related to the
performance because perhaps there was a reward to have. But basically
the children were in children evacuation camps...
All in all there were destroyed many documents of value during Second
World War, in Germany and in the occupied territories. The documents
not only burnt, but were given to recycling, or even were used as
toilet paper...
|
|
Poster
in 3R "Produce weapons for the front" (German: "Schafft Waffen für die
Front"), summer 1943
A factory manager hands
over some hand grenades to a soldier, and at the bottom of the poster
is shown the industry producing on and on. Important parts came from
Switzerland, e.g. from ABB for rockets, or from the "USA", e.g. the
antiknock agent.
The front which never
stops, this was the eastern front, and Nazi propaganda was pretending
yet that a victory against the Red Army would be possible - referring
to the figures of soldiers against an absolute superior Red Army.
But industrialists in Third Reich were going on to be "interested" in a
"victory" because with war production it was easy to fill one's
pockets, and the bank accounts for this were untouchable in
Switzerland...

Allied propaganda posters
|
Poster of the allied: swastika is
broken, 1943
Four
hands in the same form
braking the swastika. The arms have their flags on their arms painted,
and geographically they are more or less well orientated with France
and "USA" to the left, England up to the right, and the Soviet Union
below to the right. But there are missing further allies because these
were not all. There are missing Canada and Belgium for example. And
swastika is going in the wrong direction. The
allies did not notice this. Mirroring the picture with a swastika
turning itself in NS direction would mean that hammer and sickle would
go to the wrong direction and that the flags of the allies would be
badly orientated.
The sky with the concentrating cumulus predicts a thunderstorm for
Germany.
But the poster is only a big false appearance because big parts of the
allied industries are also producing for German war production - up to
the end of the war!

Propaganda posters of the "USA"
 |
Poster
of the "USA": "Work as hard
as a Jap", 1943 appr.
"If you worked
as hard and fast as a Jap we'd SMASH Tokyo a lot quicker."
The sky threatens with the Japanese
flag with the Japanese beaming sun. The text is shown before a school
class. The pupil in the foreground is a black with glasses. The whole
school class are only blacks. So, the poster as absolutely racist
saying that black would work slower than whites, and that the saying on
the poster would be above all for the blacks.
|
 |
Poster
of the "USA" against Japan:
"Don't talk - rats have BIG ears", in 1943 appr.
This poster is very complex. In
front of the Japanese flag with the Japanese beaming sun the Japanese
rat is cleaning the main island of Japan with a samurai sword. The ears
are bigger than the rat itself. The rat has got an Asian hat with a
communist star on it. Perhaps this is an allusion that the spy will
be in a disguise listening to Russia. At the bottom to the left there
is
a person watching Russia, Between the graphics and the mouse there is a
direct link. The glasses are the glasses of Japanese Emperor Hirohito.
The presentation of Japanese people as mice is absolutely racist and
includes the allusions that they would be varmints.

Third Reich propaganda posters

Poster of 3R about
evacuation of children to the countryside: "Air terror is going on -
mothers, bring your children away!" (orig. German: "Der
Luftterror geht weiter - Mütter, schafft eure Kinder fort!"), 1944
The own terror NS leadership cannot confess. War and victory madness
are not recognized as illnesses until today (2010)...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
 |
Poster
of 3R: "Mam, bring me away! - air terror is going on", in 1944 appr.
The child is taking the flight from the bombs and is asking being
brought away.
(see: http://www.12move.de/home/bunker-bs/propaganda.htm)
The scenery is absolutely unreal because a child always wants to stay
with it's mother. So the child can have said only: "Mam, when will we
leave?" or "Mam, where will we go?" But the mother has to stay in town
and has to help fire-fighting because there have hardly left men in
town because the men are at the front, and many of the men yet in town
are handicapped and are not capable for fire-fighting operations.
The child is walking on a fire carpet and has to flee from the bombs.
So, the poster shows a fire storm and is an indirect confession of NS
defeat against the allies which have practically the total air
supremacy over whole Germany. And one may ask why the "Fuehrer" let
fighting going on and nobody has taken measures, and why the jet fighters were not used.

Poster
of 3R in Holland against terror "America", 1944
The picture shows a robot Yankee
with wings of the "US" Air Force and with two white and two black arms,
with a hat of Ku-Klux-Klan and with many more "details" of "American"
superficial "culture":
-- a women in summer clothes as "Mis America" with native feathers and
with plugged Jazz trumpet
-- another woman as "Miss America" in summer clothes with military hat
of 1865 and "American" flag
-- at the left black arm there is a rope to hang people, in the hand is
a record
-- in the right hand of the black arm is a banker with a dollar sack
-- in the hand of the left white arm is a rifle and on the wrist is a
handcuff
-- in the hand of the right white arm is the drumstick of a timbal with
a poster with a Jewish star serving the robot as torso
-- the torso over the timbal consists of a birdcage where a black man
is sitting in a white trousers on a stone watching a black woman with
white mini skirt dancing. The floor of the cave has got the title
"Jitterburg - Triumph of Civilization"
-- at one leg there is a ribbon with the text "World's most beautiful
leg"
-- the feet of the Yankee robot are bloody bombs and one foot just has
bombed a temple hall. The other leg is in the air threatening what is
under it.
In the background there can be seen the Statue of Liberty and New York
sky line, right Holsten gate of Luebeck and an old center of a German
town with a fountain in the foreground, behind the red smoke there can
be seen slim steeples, e.g. from Saint Mary's church of Luebeck.
Below to the left there is a little person with huge mouse ears shown
with the back to the viewer with a shield in red writing: "De
U.S.A. zullen de Europeesche Kultur van den andergang redden" ("USA
should save European culture from their destruction").
This cartoon describes the conditions in the "USA" very well: The white
beauty queen has put an adornment of a native chief whereby teh natives
in the "USA" have the "American" passport but have no rights and are
partly eliminated. The symbol of the cave for the blacks is right
because there is strong racism in the "USA" until the 1970s, and the
blacks are not eliminated, but they are shut up in a box concerning
their rights. The banker with it's dollar sack is the shugar of the
"USA" for impoverished Europe. Superficiality of the white "American"
population allows the war against Europe and is laying - together with
English units - not only all German towns, but also towns in Holland
and in France in ashes. So, there is the question which "Freedom" is
represented by the "Statue of Freedom" of New York, because: The banks
of the "USA" have financed communism and Third Reich at the same time...
But unfortunately it's not an act bringing peace to point out the
mistakes of the other ones when oneself one is not capable to create
peace, and Hitler had no middle course between victory or flight. So,
this cartoon is good, but is only a bad diversion.
Propaganda poster in Italy

Poster
of Saló Republic: "Black Brigade" (Italian: "Brigate nere"), 1944
In July 1944 Mussolini gave
the order to militarize it's Fascist Republican Party. All members were
forced to be members in the Black Brigade ("Brigate nere"), a new armed
unit taking over the functions of the army and of the police and
integrating paramilitary groups (Italian SS, X Mas etc.). Principally
the Black Brigade was responsible for the climate of terror in northern
Italy from 1944 to 1945, operating under a black flag (Italian:
"bandiera nera").
(see: http://keynes.scuole.bo.it/ipertesti/il_ventennio/
Propaganda%20fascista%20della%20RSI.htm)
The skull on the flag is
speaking for its own. The man is a blond fighter type with tanned head
and tanned arms, athletic like a body builder. But such strong
vulgarians mostly don't have much in their brain because they only know
their school books.

Poster
in 3R: "For freedom and life, popular storm!" ("Um Freiheit und Leben,

Under the denomination of
"Volkssturm" ("popular storm") the NS regime lets mobilize elders and
youth for a fight against allied troops.
(see: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm)
There are some remarkable elements in this poster: Writing is very
declined and implicating a movement arriving at the two defenders, and
this moving should be halted by the weapons of the defenders. This
should make clear to the viewer that now the case is all or nothing.
Native soil of the Old Reich has to be defended. There is not one
single warlike action shown on the poster, but there can be seen two
men, one young, another old, in a position of defense, as if they would
hold two flagpoles in their hands. This position is real as long as the
allies have not come yet. Also the equipment is probably real, in
reality with shovels or medieval spears in their hands, without
uniform, without helmet, without emergency provision and without
pistol. So, the poster represents the whole truth, whereby only the
superior allied armies are missing. Because when the allied armies
would be represented on the poster all knew very quickly that in this
case there is nothing to win any more...

Eastern front: Break through of Red Army to
East Prusia
->>
German propaganda is commenting this break through with the
presentation of Soviet atrocities (Nemmersdorf) and by this provokes
panic in the German population
->> the presentation of Russian atrocities has to be stopped
(Ploetz, p.770).
When Nemmersdorf was re-occupied by German forces on 21 October 1944,
there could be detected that 23 German civilians were shot by Red Army,
mostly women and children. It's the first documented act of atrocity of
the Red Army on German soil in Second World War.

And the Red Army is violating on and on and on...
since 16 December 1944
Ardennes
offensive:
German propaganda stressing new force of German army
(Ploetz, p.770)
plus:
German propaganda compares the campaign with the Battle of France of
1940 [!] (Ploetz, p.771).
Analyzing the Battle of the Bulge Hitlers tanks only had luck because
there was cloudy weather and the allies had no way to inform what was
going on for one week...
Principally this Ardennes offensive is one of the big criminalities of
Hitler because he had been able to give way to the Western allies
protecting the Eastern Front against communism, but Hitler did not want
peace. He was going on playing a poker with his "wonder weapons", but
the allies had changed their tactics and Germany was going to be
without fuel...
since end of 1944
Collapse of
the Ardennes Offensive
->>
German propaganda calls the collapsed offensive as a trial to "trouble"
the allied offensive preparations (Ploetz, p.771).

Goebbels's
propaganda against America and to keep on against the allies against
the Morgenthau plan and against "enslavement"
Ploetz:
<"Morgenthau plan" and
other allied projects for Germany were stimulating Goebbels's
propaganda
provoking a fight of despair against these forces who wanted to
"enslave" and to "eliminate" the German population.>
(orig. German:
<Der
"Morgenthau-Plan" sowie die bekannt gewordenen alliierten Pläne
für Deutschland leiten Wasser auf die Mühle der Goebbels-Propaganda,
die das
Volk zu einem Verzweiflungskampf gegen die Kräfte aufruft, die das
deutsche Volk
"versklaven" und "vernichten" wollen.> (Ploetz, S.771)
January
1945
Eastern
front: Red Army breaking through at Oder river
->>
German propaganda named "fortresses" and defensive lines for an alleged
preparation of a counter offensive, and by this manipulation should be
stopped the escape movement
->> many Germans believed in this propaganda thinking themselves
safe for too long and then they were rolled over by Red Army (Ploetz,
p.770).
30 January 1945
Germany:
film propaganda for "keeping on"
"Kolberg"
a.o. (Ploetz, p.764).

since February 1945
German
propaganda propagating "Werewolf" calling collaboration with the allies
as "treason"
->> then there are some "Werewolf"
actions against Germans who are collaborating with the allies (Ploetz,
p.771).
April
1945
Battle of
Berlin - Berlin is trapped by the Red Army
->>
until 28 April 1945 German Nazi propaganda pretends to Berlin
population that there will be the possibility to be liberated claiming
to keep on (Ploetz, p.770).
12 April 1945
Death of
Roosevelt
(Ploetz, p.771)
20 April 1945
Hitler's birthday
Goebbels's
propaganda going on dispersing "victory confidence"
with the conjuration of historic parallels when Berlin
also was encircled but was liberated soon (Frederick the Great in Seven
Year's War, and czarina Elisabeth has died, and President Roosevelt has
died)
->>
but this propaganda has no effect any more (Ploetz, p.771).
May 1945
Balance of
the German propaganda machinery in Europe
Ploetz:
"During Second World War
German propaganda had big effect in the homeland, and allied propaganda
against Germany had almost no effect. Until 1945 psychological warfare
of the allies (with Soviet part) in Germany has almost no success. In
their own countries the allied propaganda is a big help for victory.
At the other side also German propaganda (with the exception of the
Arab region) has no effect in other countries. All in all one can make
out that psychological warfare within the own national borders has
proven oneself, but as a mean to decompose the enemy's resistance has
failed."
(orig. German:
"Im
zweiten Weltkrieg hat sich die deutsche Propaganda im Innern als
erfolgreich, die gegen Deutschland gerichtete alliierte als wenig
wirksam
erwiesen. Bis 1945 bleibt der psychologischen Kriegsführung der
Alliierten (einschliesslich
der Sowjetischen) in Deutschland jeder grössere Erfolg versagt, während
sie
innerhalb ihrer eigenen Länder überall Entscheidendes zum Siege
beiträgt.
Andererseits
vermag auch die deutsche Propaganda (abgesehen vom
arabischen
Raum) nicht über den von Deutschland beherrschten Raum hinaus zu
wirken. So
kann man zusammenfassend feststellen, dass sich die psychologische
Kriegsführung
innerhalb der eigenen Staatsgrenzen durchweg bewährt, jedoch als Mittel
zur
Zersetzung er Widerstandskraft des Gegners versagt hat." (Ploetz, p.762)
