The text on this German appeal, "Weihnachten im Feld!" ("Christmas in the Field!"), asks viewers to donate money and *Liebesgaben*, or "gifts of love," for soldiers at the front. Such campaigns sent parcels of food, tobacco, clothing, and small comforts to troops, and they were a way for people at home to feel part of the war effort. By the Christmas of 1917, the third the war had brought, Germany faced serious shortages, and the holiday appeal carried both sentiment and a practical demand for resources. Posters like this show how the home front was mobilized through emotion as well as through paid donations.
