Typographie des Terrors

Dear Friends
yesterday I visited the exhibition Typographie des Terrors - Plakate in München
1933 bis 1945, at the Stadt Museum in Munich. The exhibition is dedicated to the
nazi propaganda posters appeared in Munich in that period. Many of the posters
presented have a clear antisemitic content, many other advertised exhibitions and
concerts with ideological purposes, still other were dedicated to the Army and the
SS. Interesting to note is that also the Deutsches Museum, as well as other public
institutions, played a big role in the nazi propaganda. My general impression is that
said posters are rather harsh and not gay, the background normally dark or uni-
form puts in evidence the subject on it, destinated to remain impressed together
with a simple message of few words in the mind of the public. Unfortunately take
images of the posters was not allowed. However, you can have an idea of said pos-
ters and their contents in looking to the following links:
