Proven Protection
In this piece of German propaganda, we see a stereotyped Jewish man who is overweight sitting in the background eating chicken and sipping on a beverage. He is being protected by a union official from a mad German worker. The Jewish man is sitting on a bag filled with millions of dollars. The bags markings suggest it that is marked to be from revolutions, inflation, and other nefarious means. The poster is saying that the Socialist Party is, in fact, protecting Jewish capitalists who are making too much money from Germany’s troubles. This theme would remain central to Hitler’s messaging throughout all of World War II.
