EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking poster advertises the Allied Forces Sports Council's Track and Field Championships held at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on the 7th and 8th of September 1946. The event was a significant moment in post-war European history, bringing together athletes from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, and the United States. The classical style of the poster, featuring an angel with outstretched wings and a laurel wreath, evokes a sense of triumph and renewal. The poster's bold colors and bold typography effectively convey the energy and excitement of the athletic competition. The Allied Forces Sports Council was established in 1945 to promote sports and physical activity among the Allied military personnel in Europe, and the championships were an important part of its mission to foster unity and camaraderie among the Allied forces. This poster serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of sports in the aftermath of war and the enduring spirit of international cooperation.
