EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1917 calls on the people of Germany to invest in the seventh issue of war bonds, with the powerful image of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg as its centerpiece. The esteemed military leader, known as the 'Soldier's Friend,' is depicted with a determined expression and a steady hand, as if personally urging each viewer to join the war effort. The text above his head reads, 'Great War Time! Buy War Bonds!' The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold, black lettering and a red background that adds a sense of urgency and importance. The use of Hindenburg's likeness would have been particularly persuasive, as he was a beloved figure in Germany and a symbol of national pride. The poster's message was clear: by purchasing war bonds, citizens could contribute to the war effort and help ensure victory for the German army. This powerful piece of propaganda reflects the intense patriotism and commitment to the war effort that was prevalent in Germany during World War 1.
