EDITORS COMMENTS
Deutschland uber alles - Que veut l'Allemagne?" (Germany above all - What does Germany want?) is a powerful and thought-provoking political poster from 1918, created in the aftermath of the First World War. The image personifies Germany as a towering figure, dressed in armor and holding a sword, standing atop a ledge with a smug expression on her face, looking down upon a crowd of cowering, defeated figures below. Two vultures, symbols of death and decay, lurk ominously at the bottom, adding to the sense of foreboding and despair. The poster is a visual representation of the political and social turmoil that Germany was experiencing during this time. The phrase "Deutschland uber alles" (Germany above all) was a popular nationalist slogan that had been used during the war, but now seemed to be taking on a darker meaning as the country faced the consequences of its military defeat and the resulting economic and political instability. The question "Que veut l'Allemagne?" (What does Germany want?) posed by the poster reflects the uncertainty and anxiety that many people felt towards Germany and its intentions. The image of a personified Germany standing triumphantly over a defeated population also raises questions about the nature of nationalism and the cost of putting the interests of the nation above all else. Created in 1918, this poster is a poignant reminder of the complex and often troubled relationship between national identity and political power. Its haunting imagery continues to resonate today, as we grapple with the ongoing challenges of nationalism and the consequences of putting the interests of the nation above all else. This poster is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the political and social climate of post-World War I Germany. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding the complexities of history and the role that art and visual media can play in shaping our perceptions of the world around us.
