Title: Loaded WWII Propaganda Poster
Post by: warhed on April 02, 2009, 05:52:09 AM: Why make 27ish propaganda posters when you can just combine them all into one! How many stereotypes can you count?

EDIT: After a little research I guess that was done for the Norwegian or Dutch Nazi party, so not German, but NAZI just the same.

From the folks of the Waffen SS, "working for a more just world."

The irony when you think of it....

It's pretty funny to see that poster because so many of us have German great-grandparents or great-great grandparents whose descendants made up a huge portion of our population at the time of the war, who fought for the United States.

Yes. You can find it here, among other propaganda posters he did for the Nasjonal Samling, on this Norwegian website:
