I dunno....and it doesn't look like a propaganda poster...to much text....no funny pics... Maybe you could have posted some passages from "Mein Kampf" too but that isn't the same as the usual prop poster! I mean they wrote worse about the Jews and they made even movies about them...nothing comparable for Poles.... PS: The US gathered their "enemy aliens" and put them into camps for the duration of the war...not only a sign to wear!

To avoid aim of your misson here. Who would be the aim of anti-Polish posters in German occupied Poland. The other fact is that: Slavic Holocaust http://www.polishforums.com/slavic_holocaust-34_29172_0.html I have issued the command--and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by firing squad--that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness--for the present only in the East--with orders to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space that we need. One aspect of German policy in conquered Poland aimed to prevent its ethnically diverse population from uniting against Germany. "We need to divide [Poland's many different ethnic groups] up into as many parts and splinter groups as possible," wrote Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, in a top-secret memorandum Without posters Germans murdered milions of Polish people of non Jewish origin.

Prince: Who would be aim of posters in Poland. ?? Polish Jews ? Anti-Polish posters in Poland??? Nope....for the Germans But if all Germans were to hate the polish "untermensch" why no movies, no posters? Even the Jews had them...you know.....to whip up some real good hate! I'm just wondering here...

Bratwurst Boy: Anti-Polish posters in Poland??? Nope....for the Germans Lets look on it from Marekting point of view. Anit Polish posters would be useful if Poland if there was another ethnic group to adress it. Jews were first aim and it was misniority in Germany. That is why there was so many German propaganda agianst Jews... Poles were living mostly in Poland and that is why there was no need to create something like that. German SS knew their mission. Lets have a look on results and poilicies of Germans in occupied Poland. There was no need to make anti-Polish posters in Warszawa if Hitler ordered to totaly smash this city.

Ja gut...anti-polish posters in POLAND for POLES would be not such a smart idea but I first looked for anti-polish propaganda in GERMANY for GERMANS and besides Himmlers nightmares and some passage from "Mein Kampf" I can't find anything comparable to what the Jews had to endure.... Then I startet to search the net....There you can find nearly everything but nothing, zilch, nada! Between the propaganda against the Jews and the Bolsheviks in the East there is a huge gap: Poland!

Of course in Nazi eyes Poles weren't people who ruled the world... I agree Catholc Poles weren't aim of masive propaganda in Nazi Germany but were aim of massive anti-Polish policies.

The poster in the title post is a german nazi propaganda poster released and placed around Warsaw sometime late 1939/1940. A copy or two actually survived the war and several reproductions were made to be hanged in museums in Poland.

Bratwurst Boy: Between the propaganda against the Jews and the Bolsheviks in the East there is a huge gap: Poland! There's a reason for that, initially Hitlers regime had a much more humane face, Jews were to be kicked out to Israel and Poland assimilated ( much like what Germany is trying to do via EU at the moment ) but given UK resistance to jewish immigration and polish refusal to blatantly bend over and be fucked the regime reacted with inflexibility and the only solution was "kill 'em all" they didnt really have time to prepare anything interesting for Poles especially since they didnt really plan to wipe us out rather than remake us into lower class humans hence less justification required.

A post-WWI propaganda poster directed at the lost Germans in Poland. POLEN HAT KEINE GESETZLICHE ARBEITERSFURSORGE Poland has no law for worker's relief Anti-Polish propaganda around 1921

Bratwurst Boy: Really! And you feel like an opressed, slave laborer "untermensch" right now? Starving and kept from education etc.??? Interesting... I should rephrase, in EU Germany had found ways to vent their energies without dishonoring themselves and without risking armed confrontation since todays Germany has very little in common with Prussia in regards to war approach , basically you're trying to dominate like you always did, the methods became far more acceptable but the goal is the same as it was since that little upstart militant state of Prussia came to being.

This was an anti-Polish Poster (may not have a funny picture)....maybe forum admin will not edit out my translation of the poster text this time?

Piorun: Poland has no law for worker's relief That isn't propaganda, that's the truth! Piorun: Anti-Polish propaganda around 1921 I think they were right with that too... Sokrates: basically you're trying to dominate like you always did Erm...how so? Europeans biggest, most wealthy, most industrious people, the biggest european economy....don't you think that Germany instead pushes FAR UNDER their weight? That they rarely push for their own interests? (And if they do (pipeline) a storm breaks loose?) Always looking for compromise? Even allowing european midgets to get the limelights and having the same, equal rights? Paying most of the EU budget? Shoving lotsa money your way? You call that "dominating"? As compared to what?

Bratwurst Boy: Europeans biggest, most wealthy, most industrious people, the biggest european economy....don't you think that Germany instead pushes FAR UNDER their weight? Personally ? I think that the fact that you push far under your weight is the only reason why you as people still biologically physically exist, one more world war effort on your part and Europe would make sure you are gone forever ( the russian-american political struggle was the only thing that saved you from Morgenthaus plan last time ) so i'd call it more of a survival instinct than pushing under your weight. Bratwurst Boy: allowing european midgets to get the limelights and disrupting german plans? Are we talking about Poland disrupting your idiotic Nord Stream which will put Europe in complete dependency of Russia ? Neither are we a midget nor is your plan smart and because of our location we will always be the limelight of the eastern Europe like you will be of the western. Bratwurst Boy: Shoving lotsa money your way? Given that most of our predicaments are your fault i cant really consider this as giving us money rather than repaying us for the mess you directly and indirectly shoved us into. Bratwurst Boy: You call that "dominating"? Yes i call Angela Merkel demanding support of Nord Stream dominating, not only is this an utterly idiotic idea given the instability in Russia but it pisses on the welfare of the entire Europe including Germany and yet mrs Merkel has the audacity to 'demand' support.

I think that the fact that you push far under your weight is the only reason why you as people still biologically physically exist, But you talked about Germany dominating, remember??? Not about us "pushing under our weight"...! Or...wait....are we dominating BECAUSE we push under our weight??? My are we smart!

Bratwurst Boy: But you talked about Germany dominating, remember??? Not about us "pushing under our weight"...! I've adressed that one as well with Merkel pulling off her stunt. Also please dont play semantics, your weight equals total domination which typically is fought off, by now the smarter of your elites realised that would lead to eventual destruction of your country so you're trying to dominate more subtly via EU. You are obviously not stupid do not play semantic games with me since you know exactly what am i writing or is my english not clear enough ?

Bratwurst Boy: that's the truth! Poor oppressed Germans like the next one I have posted. Bratwurst Boy: I think they were right with that too You would wouldn’t you? Kladderadatsch, 20 August 1939 Chamberlain in the House of Commons. In the top frame, Polish police are attacking a German school in Poland. At the bottom, Chamberlain is saying: "I can only admire the remarkable calm and intelligent restraint of the Polish government." calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/images/lehmann/lehmann8.jpg

Patrycja19: who are you capitalizing on now sokrate? who are you laying some guilt on over there? Jews inform and instill guilt into all nations worldwide, nations that have no direct connection with holocaust. Todays Germany is made up of sons and grandsons of murderers and barbarians who destroyed our country beyond belief, i see no analogy. Patrycja19: the word HYPOKRITE comes to mind. The word spelling comes to mind and its spelled hypocrite. Bratwurst Boy: "pushing under one's weight" is not exactly "dominating".... You can't have Germany both ways....or can you? Its a more subtle way but please tell me oh great conqueror what is your weight ? What place in Europe would be fitting and deserving for your great country ?

What place in Europe would be fitting and deserving for your great country ? I'm a conqueror now??? How? Do you drive a german car??? But I think Germany could be a bit more pushing for our own interests...as do all countries want, don't they!
