Der Fliegerhorst Frankfurt im Dienste des W.hW. [ Frankfurt Airbase in Support of the WHW]
Printed poster
Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Hans Schaefer Press
1936
Approx. 23 5/8 x 33 3/16 in.
A rare Nazi-era poster advertising a flight demonstration by German aerobatics champion Lt. Willy Stöhr and other fighter pilots at Rebstock Airport on 6 December 1936. The poster features three Hinkel He 51 airplanes performing a dramatic aerial dive. Each plane's vertical stabilizer is emblazoned with the Nazi swastika.
The Winterhilfswerk (W.h.W.) [Winter Relief of the German People] was an annual charity run by the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) from 1933 to 1945. The WHW replaced tax-funded welfare institutions, allowing the Nazi government to allocate more money for military spending. Credible evidence suggests that the money raised was personally controlled by Adolf Hitler, and at least part of the funds were also diverted to arms purchases.
