A slogan in the title sets this poster apart: "Kampf für Führer und Volk," or "Struggle for Leader and People," addresses the German student directly as a soldier of the regime. The poster dates from the 1930s, though the record gives only "193-" and its notes are unverified. Ludwig Hohlwein, one of Germany's best-known commercial and political poster designers, produced it as a chromolithograph, a multicolor printing process that let posters like this one reach large audiences cheaply. Hohlwein's bold figures and flat color fields show how Nazi-era propaganda borrowed the look of modern advertising to promote loyalty to the state.
