EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating from 1918, is a poignant reminder of Germany's colonial past and the sacrifices made by its soldiers during wartime. The image features a colonial soldier, his uniform adorned with the imperial eagle insignia, holding the broken staff of an imperial flag. The soldier's determined gaze and the handwritten appeal for donations to the Colonial Servicemens Appeal in the bottom right corner add to the emotional impact of the poster. The Colonial Servicemens Appeal was a charitable campaign initiated by the German Colonial Society and the German Colonial Office to provide financial support for soldiers and their families who had served in Germany's colonies during World War I. The campaign was an expression of the German people's appreciation for the sacrifices made by colonial soldiers and their families, and aimed to alleviate their hardships. The poster's design is simple yet powerful, using the symbolism of the imperial flag and the soldier's uniform to evoke a sense of patriotism and duty. The broken staff and the soldier's hand holding it suggest the fragility and impermanence of imperial power, while the appeal for donations underscores the human cost of colonialism and war. This historical artifact is a testament to the complex and often overlooked aspects of Germany's colonial history, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during times of conflict. The poster's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought about the human cost of war and colonialism, and the importance of supporting those who have served and sacrificed for their country.
