EDITORS COMMENTS
Hunger means the loss of the Eastern Provinces! Germans, save the East! Volunteers needed! This haunting poster from the aftermath of World War I depicts a desperate scene of a malnourished woman seated with her emaciated children huddled around her, and one starving or deceased child in her lap. The text implores Germans to volunteer for local militias and protect the Eastern Provinces. The caption emphasizes the significance of these regions, explaining that half of the bread rations and half of the coal rations came from the Eastern Provinces and Upper Silesia. Without these provinces, Germans would be left without heat, light, work, and ultimately, life. This powerful call to action was likely used to rally support and resources for the struggling German population during a time of great need and hardship. The date of this poster is estimated to be around 1919.
