Reproductions of two German promotional posters produced during 1939-1940 that both mention Adolf Hitler. One is titled, "Deutschland uber alles! Leibstandarte SS- "Adolf Hitler". W. Hoeck at bottom right corner. The other "Auch Du gur Leibstandarte- SS Adolf Hitler". Anton printed in bottom right corner. Long tear on the first poster tape repaired on the back. The second poster has a small tape repair. Translations are roughly "Germany Over Everybody, Physical Standard SS- Adolf Hitler", and "Also You, Physical Standard- SS Adolf Hitler". Please inspect item for condition. [UPDATE: Under high magnification, we have discovered these posters have a stochastic (randomized) CMYK ink dot pattern that was not invented until the nineteen-seventies and was not widely used until the advent of high-quality inkjet printers some years later. The original WWII-era posters were probably printed as serigraphs with smooth color gradations and no half-toning. Someone more recently has scanned them at high resolution and reproduced them using modern, large-format inkjet equipment. The dead giveaway is that even the “faded” margins of the paper (where there should not be any ink) have a stochastic CMYK dot pattern that recreates the appearance of worn, faded paper. Nevertheless, these reproductions still have an artistic, educational, and historical value in representing the type of propaganda widely used during WWII.]
