This next new addition is a hard one to find.
The artwork is once again by Hans Schweitzer (Mjölnir), although it is unsigned on these particular posters.
SIZE (approx.) = 42cm x 58cmThe original artwork (minus the text) can be seen in the 'Deutsche Künstler und die SS' catalogue I believe,
which was a catalogue for an artwork exhibition during the war. The catalogues themselves sell for quite a sum!
I was sceptical of the existence of these with the text as I had always thought the text was added post-war by
someone trying to make a fantasy/fake poster, that was until I saw this period image showing one such poster.

I have been getting quite a few of my posters that I have already posted in this thread linen-backed and with some
partial restoration where required, which needless to say has made some of these posters look absolutely stunning.
This particular one 'SS IM KAMPF' was the first and only so far that I have had done in the USA, by the nice girls at
Fourth Cone Restoration... I was very pleased with the results and I will be using their services again most definitely...
