Contribute to the National Collection for the Fatherland - Every Penny Counts!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Dutch, May 1944) During the darkest days of World War II, the German Reich reached out to the occupied Dutch population with an appeal for financial support. This evocative Dutch poster, now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library collection at Onslow Auctions, calls on citizens to contribute to the National Collection for the Fatherland. The image of a helmeted soldier, gazing determinedly into the distance, underscores the call to arms for financial support. The poster's text, written in Dutch, reads: "Contribute to the National Collection for the Fatherland - Every Penny Counts!" The image of a tin slot, with a coin being dropped in, reinforces the message that every small donation makes a difference. The poster's design, with its bold colors and simple yet powerful imagery, would have been a common sight in Dutch towns and cities during the war. The National Collection campaign was part of the Reich's efforts to fund its war efforts and maintain morale among the occupied populations. Despite the hardships of wartime, the Dutch people were encouraged to give what they could to support the Fatherland. This poignant poster serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the Dutch people during the Second World War. The poster's provenance is from the Mary Evans Picture Library at Onslow Auctions, a leading provider of historical images and prints. This rare and evocative piece of World War II history is a testament to the enduring power of visual communication and the human spirit in times of adversity.
