Poland war propaganda poster - can anyone explain this picture?

SeanBM:

Historically, as in today or in a hundred years time, looking back at it, would it be reporting history or propaganda? Just a question, I am just a little hazy on the boundaries.
Kind of like the difference between Archaeology and grave robbing.

szarlotka: Lederhosen on Polish girls or hairy arsed Austrian males I am afraid it is the second.But they wear nice Wehrmacht boots to compensate.

SeanBM: There is only a thin paint of true civilized behaviour on the English. I think the paint is drying Sean. And some of us need a few extra coats maybe.I hope that attitude is diminishing with time but it's hard to argue against - as a generalism

szarlotka: as a generalism I know, just thought if the Germans are going to get a few digs, why should the English get away Scot free? Actually "Scot free" where'd that come from? southern: I can't say this constitutes my phantasy. ha ha ha

Kilkline: Theres no needs for propaganda posters refering to Poland as why would the Nazis need the German people to harden their resolve against an easily beatable enemy? Easily beatable my butt, need I remind you it took both Soviets and Nazi's and still we are here. Not to mention, well one more time, fought from start to finish on all fronts.

Bratwurst Boy: I've never heard of a imperialistic and bloodthirsty donkey... Neither have I. Mind you I'd never heard of Higgs boson particles and apparently they might exist.

Shawn_H: To me, propaganda is more overt in it's attempt to sway people's opinion, to strike fear or to rally around a cause. But the more subtle invisible enemy seems to work best these days. But you are right that it comes down to objectivity / impartiality in the media. This reminds me of the Vietnam war, Arguable you could call it the last war with casualties, in the sence that the Press were truly free and photographed what they saw and showed us, now it is a different story, now a bomb goes off in country "X" and we only see it if it is one of "theirs". We just get numbers released, 10 died yesterday, 15 today.... I will always remember watching British and Irish T.V. growing up and seeing the difference in coverage, I wish I could have recorded the shocking differences in news coverage.

I suspect in the upper picture it's some like: "That's the way how want to see Warsaw enemies of Polish people". The lower one I don't know.. Can't find analogy for "bedzie".

that's Warsaw that enemies of the people's republic of Poland would like to see... and on the picture: no jobs, only for americans, how to cover the traces of the crimes (newspaper), name of the shop owner -A. Moronski and that's how it will look like and on the picture: cinema, reading room, subway, community centre

Shawn_H: Love the portrayal of the enemy in the Production Poster - not very PC After my opinion the most non-PC poster were the US anti-japanese propaganda Poster...they were really rassist for a democracy! URL URL

osiol: Do I? I don't think that you do Osioł, nor does Szarlotka or Shelley, but I have to agree with Sean that this attitude is not exactly uncommon among your countrymen.

Doesn't look very hateful against Poles....and I still can't find german anti-polish propaganda poster...curious by all this alleged Poland hate by the Nazis.... Compare this to the style and abundance of anti-soviet posters!
