A Rare 1928 Anti-Nazi Election Poster by German Democratic Party

An extremely rare and early poster issued by the German Democratic Party; measuring 29.3 x 20.4 cm, very fine condition. An election poster for the federal election of 1928 in Germany’s Weimar Republic. It shows a man on the outlines of the German borders, using a shield with the German colours to cleanse the country from vermin, swastikas and helmets, representing the right wing nationalist movements including the Nazi party, and red stars, representing the far left communist movement and bolshevist parties. Note the East Prussian region being attached to mainland Germany by two ropes, representing the bridging over the so called Polish corridor. The text reads: Cleanse the Reich! Elect German Democrats! List 6. List 6 stood for the DDP (Deutsche Demokratische Partei, German Democratic Party), one of several democratic parties at the time. They gained 4.6% of votes, finishing in 6th place of overall votes, forming a coalition with several other parties as the last true democratic government of Germany before Hitler’s rise to power. The poster was designed by Theo Matziko, and printed by Hugo Sensch in Berlin.
