I don't think feminist nowadays would like such posters especially the fourth one

just relics of a simpler time when people didn't cry out oppression at every drop of the hat.

I wanted to post this final one that I think is hilarious - for obvious reasons. Ya know since its read as a single sentence of 'help britain defend america' and not 'Help Britain. Defend America!"

Actually I don't have any. Owning Nazi propaganda material and other Nazi trinkets is forbidden here. I know it might be hard to understand for people from other countries and has even lead to the common misunderstanding that documentations about Nazi germany are forbidden here (which they absolutely are not) but I would say it's the equivalent of denying the child who tried to set the house on fire the priviledge to use matches.
Edit: However I guess I should add that as far as I know these laws only apply to private persons. Those things are allowed to be exibited in Museums and Goverment archives.

although for some people is hard to understand the difference between apologia and education... which might result in finding yourself into a trial (which will end in your favour anyway). happened some times around here. will happen even more in the future as lately politician (democrat party) are pushing for a further thigtening about proibition over this kind of stuff.

This is a private website, and the owner of it is the resident Tyrant. Feel free to vote all you want, but he decides things around here.

There's nothing to worry about. It's not a "rule." It is simply his site. He does what he wishes with it.

Made me chuckle...

Whats the meaning of Tacete?
The dictionary wasn't able to translate it
Btw, Here in Syria we use this proverb in the second poster when people talk about the government in bad way to warn each other
Comment has been collapsed.
Tacete! = "Shut up!" Or "be silent", "Don't talk". The meaning was around the line: "If you know something about production or military operations don't talk about it with anybody. An enemy spy could be listening to you"
"Il nemico vi ascolta. Tacete!" = "The enemy is listening to you. Don't talk!"
This is a WW1 propaganda poster for war bonds:
And the second one is a revanchist RSI poster from (I guess) 1944. To be true, its the first time I see it:

Thanks, they are interesting actually and its the first time I heard about this historical event

Short version: Poland and Teutonic Order were at war 4 times (if I remember correctly), the last one resulted in Teutonic Order secularization and transformation into Duchy of Prussia (which was followed by Prussian Homage]. Few centuries later Teutonic Order imagery was used in progerman and antipolish propaganda in Germany and Prussia and conversly, antigerman and nationalistic in Poland (I don't know how Teutonic Order is seen now in Germany, but Polish people are still proud of winning against Teutonic Order in battle of Grunwald, which is deemed to be one of the biggest medieval battle and Teutons are predominantly seen as bloodthirsty assholes).

Poland strong! - They should have better continued to fight united.

But unless you're referring to a different event that was Austria not Germany. I would like to stress that those are not the same :P
Comment has been collapsed.
No stress! Back in 1683 we wuz Holy Roman Empire! As far as I know.

Well not stress as in be stressed rather as in put emphasis on ;)

You're right about the Holy Roman Empire thing and I'm no expert when it comes to the 2nd siege of Vienna so there probably were troops from other parts of the Empire taking part in the siege as well but when I just briefly tried to research it I couldn't find out, out of regiments from where the defending forces consisted. But in the "in a nutshell" version we learn in school Jan Sobieski gets most of the credit.

I wanna know if they taught you this in school:
Das Kipferl ist heute in Österreich ein Klassiker unter den Süßspeisen. Über dessen Erfindung gibt es die unterschiedlichsten Geschichten und Erzählungen. In Österreich schreibt man dies dem Bäckermeister Peter Wendler zu, der die Form des Gebäcks 1683 zum Hohn auf den türkischen Halbmond nach der erfolglosen Türkenbelagerung Wiens kreiert hat. Eine ähnliche Geschichte gibt es auch in Ungarn, nur ist in diesem Fall nicht die Stadt Wien der Ort des Geschehens, sondern Budapest.
Vienna, summer 1683. The Turkish army has conquered the Austrian empire and laid the siege to the capital. Due to the hard resistance they decided to dig tunnels under the ramparts of the capital. The bakers in Vienna could hear the noise of the spades at night. The bakers alarmed the citizens and so they could defeat the Turkish army. In memory of this event the bakers decided to make a special patisserie with the typical "croissant"-shape (=symbol of the Turkish emperor, his army and the Islam religion). Marie-Antoinette born in Austria brought the croissant to Paris in the 18th century. The fabrication of this "viennoiserie" became very known in Europe, especially from the World Expo in Paris (1889).
From Das Kipferl und seine Geschichte and Croissant półksiężyc maślany.

I didn't remember the part about bakers hearing the turkish mineurs (although it would make sense because bakers would presumably get up very early in the morning when the rest of the city is still quiet) but I vaguely remember that story together with coffee (something we consider an intregral part of Viennese culture nowadays) being introduced to Austria when found while raiding the turkish army camps.
Comment has been collapsed.
The story with the coffee was new to me, never heard this before. But somehow I don't believe that it was the bakers who heard that they dig mines.
Imagine you're a resident of Vienna back in 1683:
-> Enemy forces still outside the wall
-> Doors are closed
-> Soldiers at the wall
-> Whole city in fear
-> They try to crush the walls
-> Sleep with one eye open
-> Some people sleep, some are awake to warn the others when the enemy invades the city
-> Noise everywhere because of the siege
-> Soldiers on the wall see in the distance the enemy is digging on the same spot
-> Realize they are digging a tunnel towards the city wall
-> That feel when trapped like a mouse

I was just spitballing ideas but you're probably right. I've also heard the defenders deployed counter-mineurs themselves that would try to find enemy tunnels and flood them or bring them down using explosives and that they placed tubs filled with water in cellars next to the city wall to notice vibrations caused by digging easier.

and what about this one?

i guess the "superior race" propaganda can apply to multiple groups/religions nowadays.

Not a poster but a movie poster, though a very influential one, featuring America's sweetheart, Mary Pickford in a WW1 propaganda film. The early movie stars, including Pickford, husband, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressler, Buster Keaton and more, were very active in all the Liberty Bond drives and war relief.
Here's a clip of a bond drive in NYC in 1917, no actors but it does have elephants.
Here's a site with lots of terrific WW1 propaganda pics of Hollywood stars
