EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative French poster from World War II, titled "Populations abandonnees, faites confiance au soldat allemand!" or "Abandoned Populations, Trust the German Soldier!" is a powerful example of propaganda art from the occupied territories of France. The image features three German soldiers, each with distinct expressions and actions that convey a sense of kindness and protection towards the abandoned population. At the center, a smiling soldier holds a happy, munching child in his arms, while two other soldiers look up at him with warm expressions. The soldier's gaze is reassuring, and his outstretched hand offers a sense of security to the frightened population. The children in the poster are dressed in ragged clothing, reflecting the hardships faced by the abandoned population during the war. The poster was produced during a time when the German occupation of France was at its peak, and the French population was facing severe food shortages and other hardships. The German military, seeking to quell resistance and maintain order, used propaganda posters like this one to win the hearts and minds of the French people. The poster's message of trust and confidence in the German soldiers was a deliberate attempt to counteract the negative propaganda being spread by the French Resistance and Allied forces. The use of a smiling soldier and happy children was an effective way to humanize the German soldiers and present them as protectors rather than oppressors. Today, this historical poster serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of war and the power of propaganda to shape public opinion. It also highlights the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity and hardship.
