Set of Third Reich Propaganda Postcards - Willrich - A set of unused propaganda postcards, rendered in a stylized illustrative technique after the artist Willrich. The reverse of each card carries printed text identifying the publisher as the Verlag für das Deutsche Schrifttum in Berlin, with the series designation ”20. Bildnis: Grossdeutscher Staeder” and printed lines for correspondence. Cards of this type were produced as part of a broader series of state-sanctioned portrait postcards during the Third Reich period, intended for mass distribution as patriotic ephemera. Wolfgang Willrich (1897–1948) was a German artist closely associated with National Socialist cultural policy, best known for his idealized portraits promoting racial and nationalist ideology, including his role in compiling the ”Säuberung der Kunsttempel” campaign against modern art. His illustrative work was widely reproduced in officially sanctioned publications and postcard series glorifying military and civic figures deemed exemplary of the regime's values. The Verlag für das Deutsche Schrifttum was one of several publishing houses producing such propaganda ephemera for popular circulation, with series like ”Grossdeutscher Städte” reflecting the regime's use of mass-market imagery to reinforce ideological messaging in everyday civilian life.
