Dutch Waffen-SS volunteer recruitment-poster

Dutch Waffen-SS volunteer recruitment-poster

Dutch volunteer recruitment poster which askes the question "Do I have to enlist to?" and then provides already the answer: "No! You do not have to but real men enlist themselves in the Dutch volunteer-legion". This is a fine example of the type of Dutch propaganda with which the authorities tried to persuade men by using psychological tactics. The neat and attractive poster measures 79,5 x 109 cm. and is in an overall fine and fully unrepaired and non-damaged condition. Once again a real piece of war-art!
