To England! German Dreams of an Invasion by Sea and Air
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A captivating postcard image from the turbulent era of World War I, circa 1916. This evocative print showcases the audacious German plans for an invasion of England by both sea and air. The central focus of the image is a formidable flotilla of warships, their sails billowing in the wind as they prepare to cross the English Channel. Simultaneously, a fleet of Zeppelins, those iconic rigid airships, ascend into the sky above, their menacing silhouettes casting long shadows on the water below. The German people's unwavering confidence in the success of this military scheme is palpable, as evidenced by the patriotic slogans and enthusiastic crowd depicted in the background. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the dreams and hopes that fueled the war efforts of both sides during this pivotal moment in history. The use of this image as a propaganda tool is evident, as it was likely sold to raise funds for the German air war effort. Despite the ominous nature of the scene, the print exudes a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting the intense passion and fervor that characterized the First World War. This historical artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the minds of those who dared to challenge the might of the English forces and attempt to change the course of the war.
