Its call to "Auf zur Freiwilligen-Centrale" (Onward to the volunteer center) and the unit name Nürnberger 89 set this 1919 poster apart from wartime appeals. Printed after the November 1918 armistice, it dates from a period when Germany was demobilizing while new volunteer units were being raised for order at home and on contested borders. Posters like this were pasted on public walls to reach men returning from the front or looking for work in an uncertain economy, and it is worth noticing how it presents enlistment as a patriotic duty after the fighting had stopped.
