Its title borrows the opening words of the German national anthem, "Deutschland über alles," and the poster turns that nationalist phrase into a warning. A German soldier appears alongside demonic figures and skulls, presenting the war as a moral struggle rather than only a military one, a common approach in American propaganda after the country entered the conflict in 1917. It is the second in a patriotic series issued under the name Barron Collier, an advertising man who brought commercial design skills to wartime messages. Posters like this aimed to rally public support for the war effort and to cast the enemy as a threat to civilization itself.
