EDITORS COMMENTS
U Boote Heraus! (U Boats Launch!) is a powerful and evocative German propaganda poster from the First World War, created between 1914 and 1918. The image depicts a determined submarine officer, clad in his naval uniform, intently peering through the eyepiece of a periscope. The background is dominated by the chaotic scene of a sinking enemy ship, its hull splitting apart as it hits the water, with white foam and billowing black smoke rising from the impact. The title "U Boote Heraus!" (U Boats Launch!) is emblazoned across the top of the poster, urging viewers to support the German naval war effort and the use of submarines to strike against the enemy. This image is a potent symbol of the German naval strategy during the war, which relied heavily on the use of U-boats to disrupt Allied supply lines and weaken their naval power. The image is a stark reminder of the brutal realities of warfare at sea during this period and the importance of naval power in shaping the outcome of the conflict. The poster's powerful imagery and evocative title continue to resonate today, making it a significant historical artifact and an important reminder of the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion during times of war.
