An original balloon dropped propaganda poster, dropped over the German army in C1918. The subject is of a skull (representing Hell) swallowing German soldiers by the use of a glass (Germany).
This is an authentic original poster not a reproduction. Is the one shown in the image bellow. Approximately A4 sized.
'Balloon and aircraft drops were used by both sides during World War I, and were often meant to be seen by soldiers in the trenches, to undermine morale by overestimating the numbers of fighters on the other side, or call into question the judgment of their own superiors.
An example of a British leaflet directed to soldiers in the German trenches shows a skull drinking soldiers from a glass with “Germany” written on it, calling it “Hell”.
Leaflets such as this were bundled together for release (see the hole in the upper left corner of the sheet).' - https://comoxairforcemuseum.ca/shades-of-gray-fake-news-and-balloon-bombs/
