Give to the Ludendorff Donation for War Invalids" is a direct appeal to the German public to contribute to a fund named after General Erich Ludendorff, then one of the most prominent figures of the German high command. The campaign drew on his name to lend the cause authority and urgency as the war dragged on. Charitable drives like this one aimed to pay for artificial limbs, workshops and retraining for disabled soldiers, whose numbers were growing with each year of fighting. Posters of this kind show how wartime appeals were framed as a civic duty at home, not only a military one.
