ZEPPELIN POSTER
Rare unissued certificate for donors who donated funds for the construction of a new Zeppelin 'Hindenburg'. The document is a black-and-red printed poster, 8.5 x 12.5 inches. Issued by the 'Zeppelin Hilfswerk in USA'. 1937. The text is in German and most likely directed at members of the American Bund, Germans in general, and Nazi sympathizers, who were living in the United States. The poster is headlined 'We Help', followed by the text in German: '...with his donation for the construction of a new Zeppelin airship 'Hindenburg', he has earned the gratitude of the old homeland and all those, who with unshakable trust in the performance of the German 'worker of the forehead and of the fist' believe in the ultimate victory of the German spirit.' ['Worker of the forehead and of the fist', a term crafted by Hitler and first printed in the NSDAP newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter on June 5, 1921, meaning white- and blue-collar workers]. Signed in print with a red printed seal from same 'Zeppelin Aid Works' in USA. Very good.
