Germans, Jews, and Propaganda.


This picture "Der Bannerträger" was painted by Austrian-born artist Hubert Lanzinger (1880-1950) in 1935. This painting shows Hitler gazing into a better future for Germany. Der Bannerträger was first displayed in the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich 1937. This image was turned into a postcard by Heinrich Hoffman ( Hitler's official photographer) in 1938.










In this image I see Hitler on a black horse, looking ahead strong and proud into Germany's future. Hitler is sitting on the horse proudly holding the German flag, while wearing a knight in shining armor suit. Hitler is looking into a better future for Ger
many and that of course means killing the Jews, and making Germany only for Germans. But of course that is the way Hitler see's Germany in a positive way. This image was made into a postcard, so basically people can choose to by a postcard of Hitler. Hitler is trying to make himself as popular and as famous in Germany as possible because he wants to make Germany under his control.

In this image Hitler is looking proud and ready to work. He is holding the Nazi flag, and is on a black horse. Normally when someone is the leader of a parade, or of an army, you will see them on a horse holding a flag, or a sword, or something like that. In this image Hitler seems to be on a horse, holding the Nazi flag, as if he is leading the Nazi's into a brighter and happier future.

Der Stürmer was the most famed newspaper in Germany. It published tons of Anti-Jewish images, and articles by Philipp Rupprecht known well as Fips. The image on the front cover of Der Stürmer shows the "Jew" as a warmonger who looks at the non-Jewish world supportingly as it is crucified on a cross marked "war" (Krieg).












In this image I see a German on the cross, supposedly being crusified, while a Jew is looking at him and smiling. This was written by a German so of course this might be a bit mis-leading. In this image I see hatred between the 2 races. I think that Philipp Rupprecht put this on the cover page because he wants Germans and German families to see how terrible the Jew's are and how they mistreat the Germans. He wants Germans to think that the Jew's are terrible people and to hate the Jew's is the correct feeling to have against them.

In this image the German is looking really sad while the Jew is looking back at him in a selfish type of way. If I was a German and I saw this image I would be quite angry because the Jew's would be killing us. So of course this is putting a bad look on the Jew's to the Germans. Because of course all of Germany wants to be safe and not killed. This image is definitely going to get Germans to start hating Jew's because it is showing the Jewish Race killing the Germans and over powering them.
