Image Analysis

This picture portrays Adolf Hitler in battle, and is encouraging people to vote for him.  The bottom of the poster says "Vote Adolf Hitler!" in big bold letters. The top says "A Front Soldier" also in big letters. The text in the middle says thing about why front soldiers always earn German citizenship.  The fact that these words are in big letters really draws your attention to the fact that Adolf Hitler was a Front Soldier, and that this is the best thing you could be.

The picture also glorifies war. The sky where the battle is taking place is bright and pink, a very light-hearted color, and this makes it seem inviting. In the picture, you want to be up ahead, where the battle is taking place. The bombs and explosions are drawn very artistically and not very big, so it makes it seem like the bad sides of war, like getting blown up, are not very bad at all. Since the rest of the picture is in black and white, my eye was drawn immediately to the battle, and then to the man, Hitler, and then to the words promoting Hitler. I think this is exactly how the makers of this poster intended it.
