An Original Vintage Unfolded German "A0" Poster (33x47; measures 32 3/4" x 48 1/4" [83 x 123 cm]) (Learn More) Der Gerade Weg (literally translates to "The Straight Path") was a political newspaper from Munich in the early 1930s, which warned readers of the dangers of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. Fritz Gerlich, the editor of the paper, correctly predicted concentration camps and genocide and mocked Nazi doctrine. After Hitler took power in 1933, the newspaper was banned, Gerlich was arrested, and in 1934 he was killed at the Dachau concentration camp. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Engel Hardt Important Added Info: Note that this rare German A0 poster, which measures 32 3/4" x 48 1/4" [83 x 123 cm], is a special poster to sell copies of this newspaper. It would have been displayed near places selling newspapers. As noted above, it was strongly against the Nazi party, and sadly, although he was completely right in every respect, the editor met a tragic end. Note that this poster is one of a remarkable collection of 46 pre-World War II German posters that we were consigned (and we are auctioning them in 46 separate auctions). They date from the 1880s to the late 1930s, but most are from the 1920s and 1930s. Posters from this time period are extremely scarce, due to the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II. Many of these posters are for specific events that were held, and naturally, those posters would figure to be even more rare, since they could only have been used prior to the date of the event. This is a rare opportunity to purchase these extremely rare posters! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had small surface paper loss in the bottom center, in the red area. It had two pieces of tape on the back of two borders that bled through to the front and other tape repairs on the back of the borders. Learn More about condition grades
