  • Ludwig Hohlwein's design displays many of the typical features of Nazi poster imagery, such as the reliance on black, white and red, as well as the muscular male figure. It was produced to procure charitable aid during the new regime's first winter at a time of great economic depression. The fine example of Nazi manhood represented here is a mythical, racial ideal. Even in this poster directed towards charity there is a reference to the Nazis' absurd notion of Aryan racial supremacy.
