Many thanks!

I have a few more posters that I have not posted as yet but hope to do so in the coming weeks.

Cheers,

Here is another recent addition which I believe is being sent to me from the Netherlands this week, so hopefully
I have it in hand fairly soon.

A pro-German Dutch poster from 1940.

Poster by Siegfried - Duitschland wint den slag op den Atlantischen Oceaan

Germany wins the battle on the Atlantic Ocean

SIZE = 89cm x 120.5cm

Using dealers image as I do not have it in hand as yet.

Another nice pickup there, Christian.

How many posters in total and of this genre make up your collection, so far?

Thanks Jeff,

To be honest it has been a while since I counted them as I have been far too busy, although I think
it is over 60 period propaganda / recruitment posters that I have now. I will have to do a proper count
in the next few days to make sure as I have sold one or two that I did not want to keep.

This is another recent purchase, although I did not list it here as I currently have it for sale.

It is a rare recruitment poster for the Panzer Grenadier Division - Feldherrnhalle.

http://www.axishistory.com/axis-nations/150-germany-heer/heer-divisionen/4142-panzergrenadier-division-feldherrnhalle

SIZE = 29.5 x 41cm

The last one of these I saw sell at auction several years ago went for over $2500 USD.

Some information about the artist;

Von Axster Heudtlass was a well known husband and wife team who produced many works during the Third Reich as well as in the early postwar period.

The 3/4 profile of stern looking young men sure seemed to be a common theme for many of the posters of that era, wouldnt you say, Christian?

A strong looking poster, for sure.

As well as your info about the artists being a husband and wife team.

Hi Jeff,

It depends on the artist as they all had their own particular preference and sometimes the styling changed
over the course of the pre-war / war period.

Hans Schweitzer (Mjölnir), did side profile as well as 3/4 profile across many of his works.

I have added more to the collection over the past few months so I will try and find time to
post them here shortly.

Look forward to see the new adds, Christian.

And, as always, thanks for the information.

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #309 on:** December 27, 2017, 10:56:08 PM »

I have had more new additions these past few months although here are by far the two
most important ones for me.

First up, a very rare Flemish SS recruitment poster of which I only know of a handful that exist.

It has been on my want list for some time and I was lucky enough to add this one to the collection.

SIZE = 65 x 100cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #310 on:** December 27, 2017, 11:02:21 PM »

This next poster is also a seldom seen Flemish SS recruitment poster.

Not as rare as the first one I posted, although still very sought after.

SIZE = 79 x 124cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #311 on:** December 27, 2017, 11:07:23 PM »

I have others that I have still not had a chance to go through so will post those once
I have time to photograph them.

Some further additions to the collection that were added in the latter part of last year.

These first 3 posters are all pro-German from France. (Note: the images are small as they were from the sales listings online and
I have not had a chance to take photos of these ones myself).

Chaque heure de travail en Allemagne c'est une pierre apportée au rempart qui protège la France. 1944.
Every hour of work in Germany is a stone brought to the rampart that protects France. 1944.

SIZE = 114 x 75cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #315 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:32:38 PM »

This one is blaming the English for bailing on the French in 1940..... Dunkirk etc...

C'est l'anglais qui nous a fait ça. 1940.
It's English that did this to us. 1940

SIZE = 111 x 84.5cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #316 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:38:20 PM »

En travaillant en Allemagne, tu seras l'Ambassadeur de la Qualité française, 1943.
Working in Germany, you will be the Ambassador of the French Quality. 1943.

SIZE = 119 x 80cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #317 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:42:05 PM »

This one is a pro-German Belgian poster trying to recruit young Belgians to work
as mechanics at the Junkers aircraft factory.

SIZE = 55 x 79cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #318 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:48:42 PM »

This next one trying to recruit Belgians to go and work in Germany.

This one is by a well known Belgian/Flemish artist, Frans Van Immerseel who also
joined the Flemish Legion / Waffen SS during the war. (see the two Flemish posters
I put up a few posts back).

I am also looking to sell this one and will have it in the sale section shortly as well
as being listed elsewhere.

SIZE = 86 x 126cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #319 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:55:32 PM »

Another nice Belgian one showing the might of the German Kriegsmarine's U-Boat arm.

SIZE = 58 x 84cm

ChristianM80 · « **Reply #320 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:58:15 PM »

This next one is Dutch and the second of the two sinking ship themed posters by the artist Siegfried.

I now have both in my collection, the other one is several posts back although for comparison I will put it to the right for comparison.

SIZE = 89 x 120cm

I have just realised today that the image hosting site I had been using has had to change domain names
unexpectedly and many of the images I had posted in this thread have disappeared... $:-\$

Not sure whether I can work with Jeff to have the missing images uploaded again to maintain this sequence
of this thread....?!?!? It would be shame to have to skim through 13 pages of text before many of the posters
can be seen.

Alternatively, is there a better image hosting site that would be more stable?

Cheers,

Christian, I can help refill the "holes" in your thread here.

All I would need is the new hosted pic URL, and what message it goes into.

Keep me posted, or send me a PM with the info.
