Dein Vaterland ist in Gefahr, melde dich!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- This powerful poster from the year 1918, translated to "Your Fatherland is in Danger, Register!" in English, was a call to action for German citizens to enlist in the G. Kav. Schutzen Divison (Cavalry Shooting Division) of the German military during World War I. The image on the poster depicts a determined German soldier, standing tall and ready for battle, holding both a grenade and a rifle in his hands. The background of the poster shows a barbed wire fence and ominous flames, emphasizing the sense of urgency and danger. The text below the image encourages enlistment in the G. Kav. Schutzen Divison, with the compelling slogan "Your Fatherland is in Danger, Register!" The fine print below lists several benefits of joining the militia, including "Defend your home and family," "Serve your Fatherland," and "Gain military training and discipline." This poster was produced during a critical time in the war, as the German military was facing significant losses and the end of the war was in sight. The use of emotional language and powerful imagery was an effective way to rally citizens to join the military effort and help turn the tide of the war. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war and the importance of unity and patriotism. The poster is a significant historical artifact, providing insight into the mindset and motivations of the German people during the final stages of World War I. It is a powerful reminder of the impact of propaganda on public opinion and the role it plays in shaping the course of history.
