Gestapo Poster??
OK, not a badge per se,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,,,,,,,,,,not a badge at all but, I was wondering if any of you had seen this poster. I think it is a post war item and I am thinking that it might have been produced by an American museum but beyond that, I haven't a clue. It's signed M. Virlier SS.
If it's not glorifying Nazism, I can sell it on ebay but if it's a propoganda poster, I can't. It looks rather like somebody is trying to make the Gestapo look dreadful and ominous which puts me in the first category. Thanks for any possible help. The Sock Monkey VC. |

Looks like and example sold in the US for $250 at the start of the year: https://witherells.com/lot/a-gestapo-poster-3162500
If you do a google image search there are a number of examples out there which have sold at auction over the past few years - but I cannot help with a positive identification of what it is - sorry

What a socking sense of humour!! How long have you been stocking them up for?
I'm off before I put my foot in it.

I really know nothing about Third Reich militaria and perhaps I am being naive, but would it not be counterintuitive for the 'Secret State Police' to advertise/recruit in so overt a manner?

Still not sure.
$250!! That's a lot of bananas!
I agree Jelly. I think it's a propaganda item; an "anti-oppression" thing. The signature of Virliers SS is a bit confusing. The SS wouldn't have anything to do with publicizing the Gestapo. Weren't they the Geheimnespolitzei? Secret Police? You wouldn't want posters up around the town. I'm thinking it's a post war protest thing. I would still love to nail it down though. Monkey |

Perhaps you could keep us updated if you manage to crack it? I for one would be interested. Cheers, JT |
