Serial number: 16


Approval: Open to approval by the Service of the Reich Commissioners


Dimensions: approx. 39 x 54.5 cm


In the background, rifles fitted with bayonets are seen, ready in battle formation. Behind the soldier with bright blue eyes, the tricolor of the Prince's flag flutters in orange, white, and blue, symbolizing patriotic commitment. In the background, flames lick the horizon, depicting the fight against the perceived threat of Bolshevism, with the hammer and sickle symbolically ablaze. The powerful design combines bright colors with an explosive message: enlisting in the Volunteer Legion was presented as a duty and a tribute to country and people.


Condition:

The poster still has a particularly beautiful flat image. There's a small hole in the blue (actually: bleu) portion of the flag, as well as a second tiny hole in the upper right corner outside the printed area. Both are discreet and barely disturb the overall image. The colors remain bright and original, and the paper shows only minimal signs of age.
