Russia's "Don't Ask; Don't Tell"














Here's the Germans appealing to the Allies by bringing up the Katyn Forest massacre perpetrated by the Russkis




























Here's about 140 Posters...I used to save them whenever I came across them...

They're WWI, but here are a couple from ThePitbullofLove's collection that I'd seen before but didn't have a copy of:

I pretty sure that translates to "even DU", as in "He's in a lot of organizations like the SS, and even DU"

The Democrat Underground has a lot longer history than I expected, but I'm not really surprised to see the tie-in...



Sorry but no. "Du" is one of the German words for "You" so it translates as "Even You" or "Just You". It's telling the Hitlerjugend members that they can join the Waffen-SS - as many of them did.

So it doesn't have anything to do with the crazy Democratic Underground retards. I think that would be quite a stretch, and the SS would most likely have regarded them as Communists to be hung from the nearest tree (just my theory  - I'm not advocating that).

Me too - but every time I posted some original Waffen-SS posters from my collection I got abused for being anti-semitic which gets tiring after a while.

Anyway at the risk of it again here's a couple of exceedingly rare originals I own (these are worth about $15K together).

So flame away at me if you want...........

Wow. Nice.
I have a repo of the one on the bottom and of another one with a young HJ in the shadow of an older SS officer with the words "Auch Du."


I have an original of that one as well.

Translates as "Also You"

I always cringe when I see the Soviet flag on posters that like.

The fucking Russians invaded Poland right alongside Hitler and would've been cheerfully allied with him against us if Hitler hadn't stabbed Stalin in the back. Patton was right, Russia was the biggest, most threatening enemy of them all.

I want to know is -


Why do we not have such propaganda now? Nothing evokes strong emotion or even mentions the Enemy.


In WWI the best poster I can think of is a painting of a  woman and child at the bottom of the sea and all the poster said was - "Enlist"

Why not the flaming towers and the words enlist? or somehting as shocking?

Because it's politically incorrect to label the enemy as the enemy and then treat him like so.

Remember, we're an enlightened society now, where d-bags like Michael Moore can tell us that Islamic terrorists are actually today's minutemen and freedom fighters and our political left eats it up with glee to feed their Hate America guilt complex, or Jon Stewart can call Harry Truman a war criminal for nuking Japan, or our current president is so fearful of offending the enemy he has to give some new innocuous name to the GWOT, and is siding with Marxist dictators like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez against Honduras for daring to legally remove a president who was abusing his authority under their constitution. Stuff that would cause the Greatest Generation's heads to explode.

America would have to grow a pair of balls again before we'd have anything like WWII posters brought back.

I guess my FIL who has a Nazi SS dagger is a "bad guy" also, right? More then a few Polish in his family were murdered by them, this was taken by one of his family off some dead nazi. I don't think it's bad, it's a part of HISTORY.


Hell, relatives from my mother's side were Nazis.

Yep - I got them relatively cheap and they have more than doubled in price due to their rarity.

It's a great poster. I've seen prices quoted for that poster as high as $20,000 but they seem to have slumped to around $7K - $8K in a 2007 auction. Maybe more are coming out of the woodwork and driving the price down as it gets more publicity.

Absolutely. The GI issue rubbers they issued in WW2 were made extra tough with a steel belt so they could be reused several times. When they got worn too badly, they would be recapped. They also came with an issued patch kit.
