Re: Waffen SS Poster
Not sure what the aspect is that needs explaining. The poster you have shown looks like one of the many Waffen SS recruiting posters of the period. I believe the designer of this one was Hans Schweitzer (1901 - 1980). After the war he had a very successful career in graphic arts.

Re: Waffen SS Poster
I have a similar, for me it's not beautiful, so I put it in a cupboard.

So, the same, but with a piece of paper for Alsace.

Re: Waffen SS Poster
Hi Brad, I am sorry to say this is one of the current fakes made in Russia. A dealer here in the UK sells them, as "real" I might add. The paper looks brown so appearing old, but is not. The colours are also bright and garish.
The one shown by Lebus is what I would expect to see on an original.
Get your money back!
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Waffen SS Poster
Just a little bit more info. The signature ' Mjolnir ' was Schweitzers nick name and of course was the name of Thor's hammer. If you paid a lot of money then get a refund if not then it looks OK as a display piece. I have many historical prints framed and know it isn't cheap to have done.
regards, Mark.

Re: Waffen SS Poster
Differences between the original and fake are glaringly obvious. The fake looks
to have been copied by a child - especially the face.........
