Late war German propaganda posters...?

[Juju]

Juju lives! He is not dead! Any reports saying he has left the modding front are all total lies, I tell you! He is alive and ready to Bust some serious Berlin Building Butt!! YEAH! ;)

Er...
Does anyone know a good site for German propaganda posters. I want to use some to possibly spice up my upcoming Berlin building mod. I did a search and came up with only one.
What I'm specifically looking for are those late war desperate 'victory or bolshevism' type of things.
Simple household ads would be good too.
Many thanks in advance.

Somewhere out there I ran across a site that had some interesting Volkssturm posters, but I don't remember where it was. It wasn't hard to find, though. smile.gif

If you're working on a set of Berlin buildings then I just might release the HJ Volkssturm mod I made (with Berlin scenarios in mind) a while back but never released. It looks good but for some reason it makes me feel kind of... I don't know... icky or something. Anyhow, if people want it I'll release it.

Can't wait for those buildings. I tried my hand at one (just one) and though parts of it looked ok it was a tough job so I quit while I was ahead.

Andrew, thanks, I'll try a google with the word Volkssturm in it when I get home.
I have to admit, it was extremely difficult to get going on those buildings. I'm not at all surprised very few modders dare tackle them. But once I gained a little 'momentum' things got easier. That and the fact that I can now rely on the experience I gained with previous building mods, and even re-use certain details (i.e. Why make a new drainpipe when my factory already has a good one. Or dirt filters; thay take an age to get right, but only a second or two to re-use smile.gif ).


Why does the HJ VS mod make you feel 'icky'? I could hazard a guess, of course...

[Juju]

Uh, well, thanks but never mind, I just found what I needed, so there's no need for any of you to go dig in your links anymore.

Thanks anyway,
Juju

The idea of it started disturbed me after I got to thinking about what it represented. Something just struck me as kind of unsavory. This after I was working on it thinking "this is going to be my coolest mod ever!" It's hard to pinpoint it--I guess it's just too evocative of the pathetic last gasp of an evil regime, and the role that ordinary people played in futilely fighting and dying for an immoral cause. Or something like that.

[Slaps self] It's just a game, get over it! I guess if it bothered me *that* much I wouldn't be mentioning the mod here. Again, if people are interested, I'll make it available. Someone might want to monkey with the VS "old man" faces as they tend to look a little funny in the HJ outfits.

Yeah, that's one of the sites I just found too. The top and bottom posters are already likely candidates.

I think by that point, a bit of whitewash smeared on a wall saying Berlin bleibt Deutsch was more than good enough....
