  • United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM):
    • This poster from 1942, Deutschlands Sieg / Europas Freiheit (Germany's Victory, Europe's Freedom), depicts a German soldier striking down a red dragon with a Soviet star on its forehead. At a time when Germany and its allies already controlled most of western Europe. Germany violated a non-aggression pact with the Soviets and launched a brutal invasion of the Soviet Union. Nazi propagandists played on fears of Communism to garner public support for Germany’s surprise attack on the Soviet Union (June 22, 1941). This poster depicts the German invasion as a preventive action designed to thwart Communist plans to conquer Europe and destroy western civilization. Here a German soldier defends western Europe (represented by a church and farm laborer) by vanquishing the red dragon of “Bolshevism” using lightning bolts in a “V” for victory (Viktoria).
