Original 1938 Adolf Hitler Propaganda Poster by Heinrich Knirr | "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!" | Framed

Historically significant 1938 German propaganda poster featuring the well-known portrait of Adolf Hitler painted by Heinrich Knirr (1862-1944). The composition depicts Hitler in a brown NSDAP uniform with swastika armband, standing against a dark red background and resting his arm against the back of a chair.

Across the poster appears the prominent political slogan "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!", translated as "One people, one realm, one leader." The lower printing identifies Carl Werner, Reichenbach i. V., connecting the piece to its period production.

Knirr's portrait was originally painted in 1935-1936 and was based upon a photograph taken by Heinrich Hoffmann in 1935. The image subsequently became part of the regime's extensive visual propaganda program. This 1938 poster dates to the period surrounding the Anschluss of Austria and the German referendum of April 1938, when the slogan featured prominently in political campaigning and propaganda.

Professionally framed and matted with an accompanying metal name plate, this is a visually powerful surviving example of Nazi political propaganda and an important artifact for the study of twentieth-century European history, political imagery, and wartime-era material culture.
