EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image from 1942 captures the spirit of defiance and bravery during the Eastern Front of World War II. The Soviet propaganda postcard, titled "New Years greetings to the Baltic," depicts a Russian soldier in a red armband delivering a fatal blow to an invading German soldier, with the caption "Death to the German invaders!" The scene takes place in the Baltic region, where fierce battles were fought between the Soviet forces and the German army. The image serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of the Soviet people during this critical period in history. The soldier's determined expression and the stark contrast between the red uniform of the Soviet soldier and the gray uniform of the German invader create a striking and memorable image. This postcard was part of a series of propaganda pieces produced by the Soviet Union to boost morale and encourage resistance against the German invasion. The use of vivid and emotive language, along with the powerful imagery, highlights the importance of the fightback against the invading forces and the determination of the Soviet people to defend their homeland.
