The poster tells the story of Gust, a Belgian metalworker, searching for work in order to support his family. He travels to Germany to work in a factory, and then joins a Waffen-SS division.

Note that French and Dutch versions of this poster were created and in the French version, the man is named Jean. Also, note that this poster was produced by the German Nazi occupying forces, because Germany had a massive labor shortage since almost all of their young men were serving in their military, and they brought in workers from countries they had occupied.
