"Hinaus mit dem schwowe plunder" - a big poster in the defeat of Nazi Germany.


Hinaus mit dem schwowe plunder - 'Out with the Schwowi (a nickname for the ethnic German population) looting' A large and impressive anti-Nazi poster in a colorful lithographic print that came out at the end of World War II depicting all the symbols of Nazi Germany being pushed out with a broom. Design: P. Sainturat, Strasbourg, (1945).


This poster came out in response (later it must be said) to another poster distributed in the Alsace region in 1941. The poster distributed by the Nazis with the conquest of France shows the French national symbols being pushed out by a broom. With the German occupation the Nazis hanged the poster in the Alsace area, and to this day there are former residents of the Alsace area, survivors remembering the same German poster flooding the city streets. At the end of the war the French resistance movement recruited the designer P. Sainturat designing a response to that poster in the form of the defeat of Nazi Germany, the background and elements are similar, except that now the one rejected is the German Reich for all its symbols: Hitler's Mein Kampf's book, swastika, German eagle, Nazi boot, and camp deliveries.
