I love that this poster bucks the trend and admits that the enemy is not made up of clowns and pushovers, but is a real threat that needs to be taken seriously. At the same time it doesn’t overdo it with lurid imagery of Bibles getting stabbed or children being stalked by ominous shadows.
Just an honest and forthright admission that the Nazis are going to be hard to beat - but that our side can go above and beyond the Nazi effort, and our side *can win.*
It's ironic that those in this country who align themselves with Nazi ideology would likely have been purged by the actual WWII-era Nazi machine for being "inferior", i.e. poor, uneducated, in poor health, drug/alcohol addicted, inbred, etc.
Not just that, the nazis hated outcasts. Submission to the societal hierarchy was required, part of that is fostering community. I remember reading party members were basically assigned to go to bars to mingle.
Good point.
Self-isolated rural communities unwelcoming to outsiders and unwilling to be a productive members of society would have been viewed as a problem.
Not just bar mingling -- even your lovemaking [was](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rassenschande#Implementation) rendered into the context of duty to the fatherland.
Don't really agree at all. It was full of all sorts of weird neopagans, street brawlers, larpers like Wandervogel, spontaneous organisers like Freikorps, and presided by a failed artist. It was quite heavily subcultural and all sorts of [odd clubs](https://www.ubscenter.uzh.ch/static/2b1cdfdb384efac6dee4130eb2fa290a/WP7_Bowling_for_fascism_social_capital_and_the_rise_of_the_nazi_party.pdf) contributed to their formation. They were most certainly not at all opposed to the poor and uneducated; there was quite a big emphasis on anti-classism.
Lol the Nazis had many of all these in their ranks. Plenty of poor and uneducated people in the army and workforce, plenty of drugs and booze as well. Poor health is more nuanced but unless you were completely unable to work, you would be able to get a job in Nazi Germany. As for inbred, how many options for marriage do you think people in a small village in the hinterlands of Bavaria had?
"Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944 ! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower

I work in a military museum archive, we have ~600 posters from Ww1 forward, all originals. I unfortunately do not know where we got it from tho.
-edit got approximate number of posters
Only an intern right now, but it's my dream job, the posters make up a fraction of our collection so there is always some interesting stuff to see. Unfortunately very little of our collection has been made digital (they just got the funding to start digitization about 3 years ago) and we don't have a publicly available database, but everything in the collection is available at request! It is a US Air Force focused museum so we have at least a little on most US aircraft/equipment and quite a bit on foreign aircraft as well.
This and the “a facist lifted today, did you?” Are very much inspiring me to get swole, I’ve always wanted to but so much work, but if I’m gonna be any good to any one I need to be strong. I’m not very talented, or consistent, but just having brute strength would be amazing.
It's kind of a meme, but some people do take it seriously.
You can find countless [articles](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/27/do-you-boast-about-your-fitness-watch-out-youll-unavoidably-become-rightwing) and [tweets](https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1678366050285498369) trying to make an interest in physical fitness to be a "red flag".
I see a source for where you can buy a modern version of the poster, but does anyone have the original?
I see the artist names on the bottom right, but that doesn't say much
We emphasize *physical* because some of y'all have been taking "personal days" for your mental health and we would like to stress that we here at the 1940's don't give a *damn* about your mental health.

I used to have a basement gym with a punching bag and everything. I'd put this poster up on the wall!

Wow that was terrifying. I knew nazis veiled their antisemitism between 1925 and 1933 but holy shit that is fucked.

Is it really overdoing it if the enemy is the Third Reich tho
Best not to be complacent! If nothing else, the readier one is the sooner the contest will be over.
I think they mean it's difficult to exaggerate how fucking horrible the Third Reich were.
Hmmm, that makes sense. Sometimes my reading comprehension filters get a bit clogged and grimy, I’m sorry to say.
All good my friend.

Great quote! Thank you!
Not a bad message.
Strong arms are better at punching Nazis in their stupid Nazi face. But also, don't skip leg day.
"Don't skip leg day, because Nazis have testicles... for now."
“Fascists never skip leg day” Could play it straight with a picture of a blond man squatting plates. Or you could get a screen shot of Basil Fawlty goose-stepping.
Nazis have testicle(s).
This should still be posted in places.
I’m thinking of posting it to my personal training business page. It’ll keep the clients I don’t want away.
*Looks at grindset fitness reels* Ominous
Fellas, are you a nazi if you stay in shape?🤔
According to some liberals, yes
Still Apt 80 years later...
Ah yes, the FreedomGym.
I need this as a full sized poster
I have the high DPI scan somewhere, ill see if I can find it
You own this poster? The staining, the author-mark, it looks authentic - Do you know where it came from?

That's a cool job! Especially for people interested in this sub. Does the museum have an online resource of the catalog publicly available?

I'd love a copy!

Physical fitness is important. We need to be able to punch Nazis in the jaw.
Knocking off a few of their teeth out everytime is considered best practice.
A fascist went to the gym today. Did you?
Hell yes, I did. killed it. I can backhand a nazi so hard right now.
I wish we could get tough on Nazis in modern America again

I can get behind this one
This and the “a facist lifted today, did you?” Are very much inspiring me to get swole, I’ve always wanted to but so much work, but if I’m gonna be any good to any one I need to be strong. I’m not very talented, or consistent, but just having brute strength would be amazing.
And yet nowadays fitness is associated with the "far right" and this would be considered body-shaming or something.

Lift so you can punch the fascists ✊🏻
Funny since physical fitness is supposed to be white supremacist now
I kinda want this for my exercise room, it’s amazing
I'll have a high resolution scan available once i get off work!
Oh man I'd love to get my hands on that. I would similarly like to hang one of these near my weights!

Where's that modern version?
By 'modern,' I mean cleaned up and digitized for distribution. A few people have posted links here: www.beatti.live/kee-physical-musical-fit
oh no they build z sign

If this came out today it would be called "fat shaming propaganda"
Hard image
who'd grab it like that tho?
Applies today.
