EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative French poster from the 1940s serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of Communism and the destruction it brought during World War II. The image of a communist star being crushed by a tank symbolizes the military might that was used to impose communist regimes in various European cities. The text reads, "They want to destroy the army... Remember Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Dantzig..." These cities are references to the communist takeovers in Hungary (1945-1946), Berlin (1945), Prague (1948), and Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) (1945). The poster's use of the color blue and the ominous image of a communist invader in military uniform underscores the sense of impending danger and the need for vigilance against the spread of communist ideology. The poster's call to "remember" the past events serves as a warning against the potential for similar events to occur again. The poster's message is particularly poignant in the context of the 1940s, a time when Europe was still reeling from the devastation of World War II and the threat of communist expansion was a real concern. Overall, this powerful poster is a testament to the political climate of the time and the fear and uncertainty that came with it.
