nazi posters
hi everyone, im new to these forums and im hoping y'all can help me. i recently inherited two nazi propaganda posters. i belive they are pre ww2 but im not sure. they both feature pictures of adolph hitler,in one he's seated next to a german shepard(his dog?) and the other he is standing. i dont have them right in front of me at this moment but they both say something like " ein riech, ein volk, ein duetchland, ein furher." they are both framed and look to be in prety good shape for thier age. the thing is that kind of stuff really aint my thing so i was hoping to sell them.so any help getting an idea of the value of em would be much appreciated.i will try to get some decent pics of em this weekend and update this post. thanks again y'all

Without seeing photos it is impossible to even guess what they posters look like and you made no mention of condition. Are they faded, worn, torn, ect.? You can auction them here on Gun Broker. 0 -
Your poster translates to "One empire, one people, one Germany, one leader". Check for any printer's markings or dates along the bottom edges or reverse. Pictures will definitely help. 0 -
Not able to judge age, but the "ein volk" poster is one that is in reprint, and sold commercially. http://www.third-reich-books.com/nazi-propaganda-posters.htm
You would really need a document specialist for this one- sorry-0 -
According to my recollection of WWII history his dog was a German Shepherd named Blondi. Eva Braun had two scotties, but I never can remember their names. 0 -
USELESS TRIVIA TIME: I pulled this off wiki after I posted, we all know wiki's never 100% reliable, but the info is close to what I recall:
Blondi (1941 - 30 April 1945)[1][2] was Adolf Hitler's German Shepherd dog, given to him as a gift in 1941[3][4] by Martin Bormann. Blondi stayed with Hitler even after his move to the underground bunker in January 1945. In March[5][6] or in early April[7][8] (likely 4 April)[9] 1945, she had a litter of five puppies with Gerdy Troost's German Shepherd, Harras. Hitler named one of the puppies "Wolf", his favorite nickname and the meaning of his own first name, Adolf (Noble wolf)[10] and he trained it.[11] One of Blondi's puppies was reserved for Eva Braun's sister Gretl and Eva sent Gretl a letter containing a photo of Blondi and three of her puppies; Gretl's being indicated with an arrow.[12]
By all accounts, Hitler was very fond of Blondi, keeping her by his side and allowing her to sleep in his bedroom in the bunker, an affection not shared by Eva Braun, Hitler's girlfriend, who preferred her two Scottish Terrier dogs named Negus and Stasi (or Katuschka).[13][14] According to Hitler's secretary (Traudl Junge), Eva hated Blondi and was known to kick her under the dining table.[15]
In May 1942 Hitler bought another German Shepherd dog "from a minor official in the post office in Ingolstadt" in May 1942[16] to keep Blondi company. He called her Bella.[17]
As a soldier in World War I Hitler had great affection for a stray white Bull Terrier named "Fuchsl" and was distraught when he lost it.[18][19] He had been given a German Shepherd before named "Prinz" in 1921, during his years of poverty, but he had been forced to lodge the dog elsewhere. However, it managed to escape and return to him. Hitler, who adored the loyalty and obedience of the dog, thereafter developed a great liking for the breed.[20] He also owned a German Shepherd called "Muckl".[21]
Before Blondi, Hitler had two German Shepherd bitches, mother [born 1926] and daughter [born ca. 1930]- both named Blonda. On some photos made in 1930s Blonda (the daughter) is incorrectly labeled as Blondi[9] (in most cases photos' descriptions were written later).
The dog in your poster was probably Blonda, not Blondi.0 -
I thought I read Hitler poisoned Blondi before he killed Eva and himself. 0
