It’s a Trap!
This poster unleashes one of the oldest tricks in the book. It puts on display Hitler alongside a trusted figure by the name of Paul von Hindenburg who was the Reichs President. The purpose was to attract those who believed that the Nazis were only out to form a dictatorship. They may not have trusted Hitler, but with support from Hindenburg, they were very much duped into believing he actually had their best interests at heart. It’s a juxtaposition that we know today was nothing but another trick that Hitler had up his sleeve while quickly consolidating his power and becoming Germany’s most ruthless dictator.
