These are wochensprüche  (‘saying of the week’) posters. They usually featured a quotation by one of the National Socialists leaders or, by a German historical figure. Published weekly from 1937 to 1944, more than a thousand different posters appeared; they would have been visible throughout Germany.
Top left : "Books are the guides of peoples, and have always not only glorified great ages of the past, but also sensed, announced, and prepared the way for great epochs to come. A people reveals itself in the book.”

Top middle: "Speak clearly and openly, and when one has a friend, march with him to the end.”

Despite the tired old lies that the Germans saw the Slavs as 'subhuman' or 'untermensch', here is proof otherwise -- 'Arier-Ukrainer' (Aryan-Ukraine). Millions of peoples from the east fought beside the Germans. The Waffen-SS filled their ranks with Russians and various Slavs of all nations. In fact, they were some of the most ferocious warriors. They proved their mettle time and time again.

Right: The following poster says: 'This year is a year of hope, Ukraine stood up against Bolsheviks!'

The Degenerate Art Exhibition (Entartete Kunst) 1937/38
In July 1937, Adolf Hitler declared war on degenerate art with the opening of the Haus der Kunst in Munich. It was one of the most popular art exhibitions of the time. The exhibition was mounted by the Culture Office of the Reichspropagandaleitung in Berlin to showcase the hundreds of works removed from museum across Germany and reclassified as “degenerate art”. Billed as “Communist, Freemasonic, and Jewish Garbage”, it became a last opportunity for Germans to see many works by Chagall, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kokoschka, Modigliani, Matisse, Picasso, Klee, Levy, Feininger, etc.
The opening of the Degenerate Art exhibition was the result of the historic National Socialist Germany “cleansing” of public German art collections. Hitler even visited the exhibition and he looked disgusted just by looking at the degenerate garbage.

The Greater German Art Exhibition (Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung)

On July 18, 1937, Adolf Hitler opened the first annual Great German Art Exhibition. Hitler partly put on two art exhibitions ("Degenerate Art Museum" and “Greater German Art Museum”) in Munich, 1937. The House of German Art was built on the orders of Adolf Hitler to replace the Crystal Palace Gallery which had been destroyed by fire in 1931. It was built under the direction of Professor Paul Ludwig Troost who died before it was finished. The building on Prinzregentenstraße was completed by his young widow, Gerdie Troost with the help of her associate Professor Leonhard Gall in 1937. Each year the work of German artists from Germany and abroad was showcased at the House of German Art.
‘The task of art is not to recall signs of degeneration, but to convey well-being and beauty, strength and health, attachment to the land, to work and German traditions were the values exalted by the Great German Art Exhibition’
- Adolf Hitler
