Know Your Work

Here we have another anti-Young Plan poster. A farmer is shown on the field with his family and a fragile horse. In the background, you can see a factory at full production. Lording over the farmer is a scary looking man with a whip in his hand. This poster implies that all the work performed by the German people for the next 69 years will go towards reparations. By the end of World War II, the Germany people were in a much worse situation, having surrendered to the Allies, many of their biggest cities were completely destroyed. The Nazi party continued to fight for relevance but was eventually defeated by the country’s focus on a federal parliamentary republic.
