Artist unknown: Moscow the Nest of Bolshevism Is in German Hands c.1943.

Description

Artist unknown Moscow the Nest of Bolshevism Is in German Hands c.1943. Extremely rare poster issued in German occupied Poland claims erroneously that Moscow has already fallen to the Germans.  A German soldier is pictured standing triumphantly over a dead Red Army soldier who has a bloody dagger in his dead hand. In reality the Russians ultimately defeated the Germans. There is a good possibility that this poster is a unique survivor. This image is the essence of propaganda: The Germans never made it to Moscow. 36×49 near mint, conservation backed.
