Newspapers: Parole Der Woche







Parole Der Woche

The Parole Der Woche was a Nazi propaganda news-poster which was produced weekly between 1936 and 1943.   Two sizes were printed - a poster sized version to be posted in German streets and a smaller pocket version.
Most of them show quotes from Allied papers and then a critical response or a mocking denial of them for the benefit of the German public.

Into Dust with All Enemies of Greater Germany.” This is a reference to Heinrich von Kleist’s The Prince of Homburg. In that play, a desperate Brandenburg, progenitor of Prussia, is saved from overwhelming threat from invading Swedes by the virtue of its campaigners, as well as its ruler. The final line of the play: “Into the dust with all enemies of Brandenburg.”
