Original 1941 Waffen-SS "Auch Du!" Recruiting Poster by Ottomar Anton | Professionally Framed

Exceptional original German WWII Waffen-SS recruiting poster titled "Auch Du!", created in 1941 by prominent German graphic artist Ottomar Anton (1895-1976). One of the most recognizable Waffen-SS recruitment images of the period, the poster was designed to appeal particularly to young Germans approaching military age.

The composition presents an idealized young Waffen-SS soldier in profile, wearing a field-gray uniform and steel helmet bearing the SS runic insignia, with a large black SS flag filling the background. The prominent text "Auch Du!", meaning "You Too!", serves as the central recruitment message. Period versions also reference eligibility upon completion of the recruit's seventeenth year of age.

Anton had established himself during the 1920s through modern travel and ocean-liner advertising before later producing political and recruitment artwork under the National Socialist regime. His wartime propaganda designs are today studied as examples of the highly developed visual language used in German military and political recruitment campaigns.

This original example has been professionally matted and framed, creating an impressive presentation while preserving an increasingly difficult-to-find piece of original wartime printed material.
