Waffen SS Recruiting Poster ( Belgian ) # 851
Designed by T. Bertauin 1944 this Belgian recruiting poster for the
Waffen SS is one of the rarest and certainly one of the most dynamic
that I have seen in all the years I have been collecting Third Reich
artifacts.
Advancing into new territories meant recruiting efforts would require the use of various languages, in this case Belgian. While the language is noteworthy, the artwork itself is the true message and the artists who developed these posters were masters in their given field. While some of the designs are simple and usually depict typical Aryan photos within SS uniform and runic symbols denoting the SS. This go's much further.
The red dragon representing Bolshevism with a chain bearing the Star of David indicating the power of Judaism over the communist state place both as a common enemy, one and the same.
The dragon is slain by the SS lightning bolts while the outline of the German soldier to the rear seems to represent the target of the recruiting with the message to join this elite organization, fill the outline of the SS soldier depicted and take part in the destruction of the dragon that has fed upon the people of Europe.
A very rare and bold poster that manages to send all the messages without having to say anything at all, and when taken in context with the time, quite exceptional.
