The stickers are from the series of posters "The Word of the Week". These posters, which were hung in the streets of the cities, were one of the Nazi's propaganda tools. The small stickers were similar to the posters, also as part of the Nazi propaganda. The posters contained quotations from Hitler's speeches.
The Nazis interpreted the anti-Hitler coalition that formed in the summer of 1941 as proof of their theory about the existence of an international Jewish conspiracy. Blaming the international Jewry for the outbreak of World War II was central to the Nazi propaganda.
(The following titles of the stickers are in their Hebrew translation)
A. "They Wanted War"
The sticker refers to Churchill and Roosevelt as controlled by the Jews. Since 1939 until the USA joined the War, American ships reported to the British about the location of the German ships. Events from 1941 are mentioned as indicating that the Americans had wanted the war.
B. "Churchill's Betrayal"
Churchill had been against bolshevism, yet now Britain is collaborating with Russia against Germany. This facts indicates how much Britain fears German and how Churchill is a liar.
C. "We are Satiated"
Propaganda against America. Germany does not care what America thinks of it: despite the war, Germany is in good situation and is not hungry.
D. "The Fuhrer has Spoken"
Quotations from Hitler's speech promising that the war will continue and that what is happening now will dictate the destiny of Europe in the next millennium. Hitler says that in 1918 Germany had won the war, yet the victory was taken from it by deceit. World War I, however, was only the first act of the play and now, in its last act, Germany will retrieve what has been taken from it.
Size of Stickers: 7.5X10 cm.
Condition: Very Good.
