There is only a thin paint of true civilized behaviour on the English.

I think the paint is drying Sean. And some of us need a few extra coats maybe.I hope that attitude is diminishing with time but it's hard to argue against - as a generalism

I know, just thought if the Germans are going to get a few digs, why should the English get away Scot free?

Actually "Scot free" where'd that come from?

Theres no needs for propaganda posters refering to Poland as why would the Nazis need the German people to harden their resolve against an easily beatable enemy?

Easily beatable my butt, need I remind you it took both Soviets and Nazi's and still we are here. Not to mention, well one more time, fought from start to finish on all fronts.

They still think like imperialists and how they take pride in their bloody past.

This comes down to objectivity / impartiality in the media. I agree that it is a fine line. To me, propaganda is more overt in it's attempt to sway people's opinion, to strike fear or to rally around a cause.

Less talk more pictures!

Love the portrayal of the enemy in the Production Poster - not very PC

After my opinion the most non-PC poster were the US anti-japanese propaganda Poster...they were really rassist for a democracy!

But the more subtle invisible enemy seems to work best these days. But you are right that it comes down to objectivity / impartiality in the media.

This reminds me of the Vietnam war, Arguable you could call it the last war with casualties, in the sence that the Press were truly free and photographed what they saw and showed us, now it is a different story, now a bomb goes off in country "X" and we only see it if it is one of "theirs".

We just get numbers released, 10 died yesterday, 15 today....
I will always remember watching British and Irish T.V. growing up and seeing the difference in coverage, I wish I could have recorded the shocking differences in news coverage.

I don't think that you do Osioł, nor does Szarlotka or Shelley, but I have to agree with Sean that this attitude is not exactly uncommon among your countrymen.

I suspect in the upper picture it's some like: "That's the way how want to see Warsaw enemies of Polish people".

The lower one I don't know.. Can't find analogy for "bedzie".

that's Warsaw that enemies of the people's republic of Poland would like to see...

and on the picture: no jobs, only for americans, how to cover the traces of the crimes (newspaper), name of the shop owner -A. Moronski

and that's how it will look like

and on the picture: cinema, reading room, subway, community centre

Doesn't look very hateful against Poles....and I still can't find german anti-polish propaganda poster...curious by all this alleged Poland hate by the Nazis....

Compare this to the style and abundance of anti-soviet posters!

\German anti-Polish propaganda poster

Verein für das Deutschtum im Ausland (Association for Germanness abroad)

Our Statement Regarding the Question of the Poles within the Reich

The Reichsführer SS and Chief of the German Police has decreed by order of Reichsmarschall Göring and others, that all male and female workers of Polish descent are at all times bound to visibly display on the right hand side of the chest on each piece of clothing the cloth badge pictured on the right in its actual size. The badge is to be permanently sown on.

I dunno....and it doesn't look like a propaganda poster...to much text....no funny pics...
Maybe you could have posted some passages from "Mein Kampf" too but that isn't the same as the usual prop poster!

I mean they wrote worse about the Jews and they made even movies about them...nothing comparable for Poles....

PS: The US gathered their "enemy aliens" and put them into camps for the duration of the war...not only a sign to wear!

To avoid aim of your misson here. Who would be the aim of anti-Polish posters in German occupied Poland.

The other fact is that:

Slavic Holocaust

I have issued the command--and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by firing squad--that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness--for the present only in the East--with orders to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space that we need.

One aspect of German policy in conquered Poland aimed to prevent its ethnically diverse population from uniting against Germany. "We need to divide [Poland's many different ethnic groups] up into as many parts and splinter groups as possible," wrote Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, in a top-secret memorandum

Without posters Germans murdered milions of Polish people of non Jewish origin.

What's my mission??? Do tell! Just help me find some anti-polish prop posters, right?

Without any posters??? ....that doesn't fit!
