A recruitment call to join the Grenzschutz Ost, the Eastern Border Protection, this poster urges readers to defend the homeland against Bolshevism. Formed in early 1919, these volunteer units guarded Germany's eastern frontier as the postwar settlement remained unsettled and fighting with Polish forces and revolutionary movements continued in the east. The text's pairing of national defense with anti-Bolshevik rhetoric reflects the fears of the early Weimar period, when many Germans saw the eastern border as both a military and ideological front.
