Militaria: Posters/Propaganda/Cold War - Rare Satirical Anti - Lot 97
Militaria: Posters/Propaganda/Cold War - Rare Satirical Anti-NATO Leaflet from the French Communist Party - The Hans Speidel Affair, April 1957 - A striking and highly sought-after document of political and military history from the Cold War. This original poster, published and printed by the French Communist Party (PCF) in April 1957, is a scathing parody of a German order from World War II. The document features a provocative design with an eagle superimposed over a swastika and a bilingual text written in the form of a fake confession by Hans Speidel. The text vehemently denounces his past as a general of the occupying forces in northern France (1940–1941), his responsibility for deportations and the scorched-earth tactics in Ukraine, while lambasting his new authority over French conscripts within NATO.
