Ok, for a class im designing a Waffan SS Recruitment poster. Can anyone give me a translation for something along the lines of "Germans, Protect Europe from the Communist Hordes join the Waffen SS!
Nazi propaganda for a class? Anyway: "Deutsche, beschützt Europa vor den bolschewistischen Horden! Kommt zur Waffen-SS!" Cheers,
Can you refer to a German collective as Deutche? Shouldn't it be (in this context) be something like "Duetche Menshen"? Or German People? Of course this is coming from a guy who knows almost nothing about the German language
lol Actually Andy, Its a an elective where you get to CHOSE what you want to research and do projects on the Topic. I chosed The SS, im also at the moment working on a newspaper article on What Michael Wittman did at Villers-Bocage againt the British 7th Armoured division. I love this class
sounds good to me, Andy I'd say: Deutsche Volksgenossen! Schützt Europa vor den bolschewistischen Banden, kommt zur Waffen-SS! or: Deutsche Volksgenossen! Schützt Europa vor dem Bolschewismus, kommt zur Waffen-SS! but i'ts only a question of personal feeling
If you look at nazi Propaganda posters, they usually do not address the German people explicitly(because it's obvious, who else is the one to be adresses, duh?). And they also preferred singular over plural. I think best would be a nice soldier image with SS emblem: "Beschütze Europa vor den bolschewistischen Horden. Komm zu uns!" (Join us)
Got a reproduction of the SS "Konigen Alle Waffen" poster I got with a series of facsimile WW2 papers that I subscribed to when I was a kid. Think it was the only German one. Regards, gordon
