EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative propaganda postcard, dating from the First World War era between 1914 and 1918, captures the ominous sight of German planes soaring over the iconic Parisian skyline, with the Eiffel Tower standing defiantly below. The image serves as a stark reminder of the aerial warfare that began to dominate the battlefields of Europe during this period. The German planes, depicted in the foreground, are shown releasing bombs and firing guns towards the French capital, while an inset portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German Emperor, gazes intently from the bottom right corner. The caption "Der Weltfahrt der deutschen Flugzeuge" (The World Tour of German Airplanes) is inscribed at the bottom, emphasizing the German military's newfound ability to transport troops and supplies quickly and efficiently through the skies. The postcard's design also features intricate illustrations of various types of German planes, including reconnaissance, bomber, and fighter aircraft. The image of the Ferris wheel in the background adds a sense of normalcy and everyday life, juxtaposed against the chaos and destruction of war. This postcard was likely produced to boost morale and rally support for the war effort among the German population, as well as to intimidate and demoralize the enemy. The use of the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop served to highlight the perceived vulnerability of the French capital and the potential reach of the German air force. Despite its menacing tone, the postcard remains an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the visual language of propaganda during the First World War and the role that aerial warfare played in shaping the course of the conflict.
