Advertisement. Photos of German soldiers with advertising signs.

[TabsTabs1964]

Experts say that all our lives are surrounded by advertising. We constantly see advertisements, although many times we are not aware of it.
Well-known brands are all around us, since we are children.
But advertising and brands are there since before any of us.
The German soldiers with their well-known love of photography, have left us many samples of it. Sometimes in an intended way and sometimes unconsciously.
Today I want to share some examples of it from my photo collection. For this I have chosen some photos that will also go in future threads, so I will do a little spoiler, but it does not matter.
I hope you enjoy it.

This is one of my favorites. If you look closely you will recognize the logos of two well-known brands of cameras and photographic material and also a wonderful photographic film reel vending machine.

A young convalescent officer, probably on a frozen foot. The badge of wounded in black in his uniform, the smile of happiness, a wonderful day, a little blonde girl in the background. And what do we see advertised in the shop window?

To make your clothes white like snow, use a good detergent!

Sometimes in Russia, the scorched earth policy, allows to discover a well-known brand of sewing machines...

On the facade of what appears to be a small grocery store, we see two different advertising signs.

We have to look very well. Right between the nose of the two horses.

In France...

Or at home.

We don't see the brand here, but it's a Stihl chainsaw

Sometimes it's about small business ads, like this bookbinder



A unisex hairdresser in Amsterdam



Or a large sign on the side of a Kiev building announcing a kind of Ukrainian beer: the Kvas.



And other times companies distribute their advertising among children
