EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Call to Action during World War I: A 1916 Poster Encouraging Fruit Pit Collection for the Kriegsausschuss fur ole und Fette During the tumultuous years of World War I, the German war effort required an unprecedented mobilization of resources. One of the less conventional yet essential contributions came from an unlikely source: fruit pits. In 1916, the Kriegsausschuss fur ole und Fette (War Commission for Oils and Fats) issued a compelling call to action through a poster titled "Sammelt die Obstkerne" or "Collect Fruit Pits." The poster features an endearing image of a young girl, her backpack slung over one shoulder, and a fruit pit clutched in her hand. Her determined expression and the text below the image convey the importance of this seemingly insignificant act. The text reads, "Sammelt die Obstkerne und schickt sie mit den Kindern zur Schule oder bringt sie zur naechsten Sammelstelle" or "Collect fruit pits and send them to school with your children or bring them to the next collection site." The Kriegsausschuss fur ole und Fette was an organization established to ensure a steady supply of fats and oils for the German military. With the disruption of international trade due to the war, the commission turned to domestic resources to meet the demand. Fruit pits, rich in oil, became an essential resource. The poster was an effective means of engaging the public and encouraging them to participate in this unique wartime effort. The "Sammelt die Obstkerne" poster is a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and resourcefulness that characterized the German war effort during World War I. It also highlights the innovative ways in which communities rallied together to support the war effort, no matter how unconventional the resource. This poster, with its simple yet powerful message, continues to resonate as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
