Posters displayed in Trieste following the Second World War reading 'Americans - British: help us join Yugoslavia' and 'Tito'. The photograph was taken in May 1946, a year after Yugoslav partisans and 2nd New Zealand Division had reached and occupied the city. A crisis ensued over which country the city and surrounding territory should join, resulting in the formation of the Free Territory of Trieste in 1947, intended as a neutral zone and jointly administered by Britain, the US and Yugoslavia. In 1953, the British and American sectors were transferred to Italy, with the city formally joining Italy the following year.

The photo was taken by Nat Farbman, a journalist with LIFE magazine.

‘Honour the heroes’ graves’ — German poster (ca. 1934) calling on citizens to donate for the care of soldiers’ graves. Issued by the German War Graves Commission and showing a soldier’s face among crosses, the rest of the text at the bottom reads: ‘Collection Day 20 and 21 October – German War Graves Commission’. The War Graves Commission (Volksbund) was established in 1919 to make records of and maintain the graves of Germany’s war dead from the First World War. In its early years the Volksbund was a citizen’s initiative, the government largely incapable of the task, though once the Nazis took power the role gradually shifted to the Graves Service of the Wehrmacht. The Volksbund resumed its work following the Second World War.

Printed in Hanover, unknown artist.

Soviet poster showing Ded Moroz and Snegurochka as partisans during the Second World War. Artist: Vladimir Menshikov.

Both Ded Moroz and Snegurochka - the former being a rough Slavic equivalent of Santa, and the latter his granddaughter - featured in a great deal of Soviet Second World War propaganda.

The poster includes a small poem at the bottom left: ‘We have settled our score with the invaders: / To the executioners who barely survived, / Our partisan raids, fierce and relentless, / Still haunt their dreams at night.’

Published in Fighting Pencil, undated but I'm assuming 1970s (when Menshikov was especially active).
