EDITORS COMMENTS
(Join the Eastern Border Protection Corps! Protect the Homeland against Bolshevism!) is a powerful and evocative poster from the tumultuous year of 1919. The image depicts a village in flames, with a large, ominous claw-like hand formed from the smoke rising above the burning buildings. The hand's menacing presence serves as a stark reminder of the destructive forces threatening the peace and security of the homeland. The text of the poster, written in German, urges the viewer to take action and join the Eastern Border Protection Corps to help safeguard against the spread of Bolshevism. The use of the word "Bolshevismus" (Bolshevism) underscores the perceived threat of the revolutionary ideology that had been gaining ground in neighboring countries. The poster's date, 1919, places it in the aftermath of World War I, a time of great upheaval and political instability in Europe. The Eastern Border Protection Corps was a paramilitary organization established in Germany to protect the eastern borders against the perceived threat of Bolshevik infiltration. The poster's call to action reflects the widespread fear and anxiety of the time, as well as the sense of duty and patriotism that motivated many people to volunteer for such organizations. Overall, this poster is a poignant reminder of the political and social tensions that marked the end of the First World War and the beginning of the interwar period in Europe. Its powerful imagery and urgent message continue to resonate today, serving as a reminder of the importance of standing up for one's homeland and protecting it against external threats.
