15 Striking Print Ads That Show The Audacity Of Nazi Germany

The Third Reich, Germany's Nazi era, existed from 1933, when Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Worker's Party came to power, until 1945, when the regime collapsed at the end of the Second World War. At the time of Hitler's rise to power Germany was recovering from the First World War and coming to terms with the conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.

The media of the Third Reich era were instrumental in creating the impression of a confident and stylish modern European country, with an air of optimism and triumphalism reflected in the print ads of the time.
