Leiht euer Geld für der Heimat Schutz und Wehr!" ("Lend your money for the protection and defense of the homeland!") urges Germans to buy into the war loan, and the poster is signed by an artist named Frank. Its record also notes the Stahl Federer Aktiengesellschaft, a firm named along the bottom edge. Germany financed much of its World War I effort through repeated war bond drives, and 1917 posters like this one used patriotic imagery, including village scenes and swords, to tie personal savings to national defense.
