This 1918 German lithograph by Louis Oppenheim tells households that their household metal goods are being taken, naming aluminum, copper, brass, nickel, and tin in its title. By the last years of the war, Germany was short of raw metals, and the government moved to requisition pots, kettles, fittings, and other everyday objects that could be melted down for munitions and military equipment. The poster turns that scarcity into a direct appeal to ordinary citizens. Its subject tags also point to blacksmiths and metalworkers, whose trades depended on the same materials, and the piece shows how the home front was asked to share in the war effort.
