    Description

    Offering an ORIGINAL 1945 ELECTION POSTER measuring approximately 33" x 23.5" and urging Austrians to "WAEHLT KOMMUNISTISCH!"  or "VOTE COMMUNIST!"  The label reads: "WIENER WALNDZEITUNG: KOMMUNISTISCHE PARTEI OESTERREICHS," which translates to: "THE VIENNA WALL NEWSPAPER: THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF AUSTRIA."  As detailed in my Internet-aided translation below, this poster is produced soon after the end of WW II, and urges Austrians to "LERNT AUS DEN FEHLERN DER VERGANGENHEIT!" or to "LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST!"  by rejecting the reactionary fascists and supporting the Communist Party.  This is a rare piece of post-war Austrian Cold War history and is museum-quality!
    The poster is organized into three columns, each with three or four captioned photos.  From left to right, the PHOTO CAPTION TEXT in GERMAN translates approximately to:
    COLUMN ONE
    1.
    It
    has begun!
    The reactionary (Nazi) forces are
    forming
    .
    Some
    are in the process
    today,
    again,
    of masquerading as
    "democrats
    "
    .
    2.
    The reactionary forces (Nazi)
    march
    under the protection
    of an
    anti-popular
    police
    .
    3.
    The
    freedom
    of the
    homeland
    is
    betrayed to
    Mussolini
    .
    COLUMN TWO
    :
    4.
    Democracy and
    workers
    are
    depressed
    -
    which clears the way
    for the sale
    of Austria to the
    Nazi
    .
    5. Now the "Hitler Salute" will be used again.
    COLUMN THREE
    :
    6.
    It is
    achieved
    !
    On 13
    March 1938,
    the Home Guard became a part of the
    German
    SS
    .
    7. Hitler's Army marched into Austria and ...
    8. brought us this! (Photo showing Nazi victims and rubble.)
    Strong graphics and moving photos of the recent complicity with Hitler and the Nazis.  The back is blank
    .
