The Americans will exterminate fanatics and Nazi swindlers. Whoever understands this can get along with the Americans. Whoever does not want to must remember: As you make your bed, so must you lie in it. My name is Joe Jones I am an American soldier. I come from Steubenville in the state of Ohio. My comrades and I have made a long journey to get here. Our people have provided us with the best and most effective war material of all the armies in the world. We do not believe in miracles. We believe in airplanes, cannons, grenades, tanks, and machines. In a few months we have overrun and destroyed the German armies in the West. Whatever we set out to do, we carry through. We want peace, calm, and order. And not just for 25 years. I am Joe Jones, an American soldier. Personally, I demand nothing from the Germans and am used to respecting the rights of my fellow men. I wage war as a soldier. I enjoy life and also respect the lives of others. But whoever attacks me must know that Joe Jones can act differently. Whoever wants to be my enemy will quickly find out that I can also be a tough and merciless enemy. So tough and merciless that my enemies never forget me. Which Joe Jones do you want to get to know?

Demands for fighting capitalism, militarism, and for solidarity with the Soviet Union and revolutionary workers in China. Final Comments Communist propaganda from the KPD, around the 1932 German elections, when Ernst Thälmann ran for president against Hitler and Hindenburg. It appeals to workers to unite under the Communist Party to fight against war, militarism, and capitalism. It glorifies the Soviet Union as the only force for peace. It denounces Hitler, Hindenburg, and other right-wing/centrist leaders as “warmongers” serving big capital.

Oil Painting by Ernst Frommhold – “Feldbergblick” – Famous Third Reich Artist – Reichsführung SS – Deutsche Kunst 1944
$995.00Here we have a rather odd item for a change! Feldbergblick by Ernst Frommhold Ernst Frommhold (* November 17, 1879 in Leipzig; † June 24, 1955 in Leipzig) was a well-known German landscape and marine painter. Ernst Frommhold came from a farming family living in the Leipzig area. After completing school, he was not allowed to study painting at the Leipzig Art Academy, as he had chosen to do, but instead had to complete an apprenticeship as a merchant and eventually became self-employed in this field. He continued the artistic pursuits he had devoted himself to since childhood in his free time. Numerous study trips took him to Italy, Switzerland, and twice on a steamship across the North Sea to the coast of Iceland. After the inflation following the First World War, he gave up his business and made his living exclusively from painting. In order to gain the necessary professional recognition, he planned to study at the Academy in Leipzig after all. There, however, he is said to have received a warning from Professor Hey that he could no longer teach him anything new and that Frommhold should simply continue as before. Frommhold was represented with six paintings at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1940. Of these, “In the Heart of Greater Germany” was purchased by Emil Georg von Stauß, General Director of the Deutsche Bank, in 1939, and “Fertile Land” was purchased by the Reich SS leadership in 1940. In 1951, the artist moved to Karlsruhe, where he drew particular inspiration from the neighboring Black Forest in his final years. Having just recovered from a heart condition, he died unexpectedly in 1955. More information about his paintings during the TR. https://www.gdk-research.de/db/apsisa.dll/ete Price includes shipping and handling.
