The threat of Bolshevism was a
constant political refrain in interwar
Germany. People's paranoia was
fostered by sensational posters such as
this.
The melodramatic image
personifies Germany as a beseeching
captive set against a red-stained sea,
associating Communist red with blood
and death. The graveyard also refers
back to military losses in the First World
War and to the idea that communism
and socialism would betray the soldiers'
sacrifice.
