EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant German poster from 1918 encourages soldiers to leave Berlin and find comfort in the countryside, as the city grapples with the harsh realities of war and its aftermath. The image on the left depicts an unhappy soldier, huddled in the rain with an empty plate and a despondent expression, symbolizing the scarcity of food and work in the war-torn city. In stark contrast, the soldier on the right is shown in a contented mood, holding a loaf of bread and a handful of banknotes, representing the abundance of food and employment opportunities available in the countryside. Historically, this poster reflects the economic and social turmoil that Germany faced during the final stages of World War I. The German military had been defeated, and the country was struggling to recover from the devastation of the war. The lack of food and work in Berlin, coupled with the harsh winter conditions, led to widespread poverty and despair among the population. The poster's message was intended to offer soldiers a glimmer of hope and encourage them to leave the city and contribute to the rebuilding efforts in the countryside. The image of the happy soldier with bread and money also served as a powerful reminder of the simple pleasures and comforts that could be found away from the chaos and hardships of the war. Today, this poster stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by soldiers and civilians during wartime, and the enduring power of hope and the promise of a better future.
