Pioniere heraus!" ("Pioneers, step forward!") is a 1918 German recruitment call aimed at men with engineering and construction skills, here for the unit abbreviated G.Kav. Schützen Div., the Guards Cavalry Rifle Division. Pioneers were the combat engineers who built bridges, dug field works and cleared obstacles, so the appeal went after a specialized trade rather than the general infantry pool. Printed as Germany's manpower ran short through the final year of the war, the poster shows how recruiters tried to fill skilled roles quickly. Its blunt imperative makes it a useful example of late-war appeals.
