    Nazi propaganda poster predicting victory by the deserving German have-nots over the greedy British haves

    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Nazi propaganda poster, Wir - die Habenichtse!,[We the Have-Nots!] issued on January 13, 1941, for the Parole der Woche (Slogan of the Week] series. The text only poster explains how Britain has stolen by force most of the habitable land on earth. This is because their greedy leaders let the workers live in slums and garbage. But the German people need not worry because they, the have-nots, would win because they are fighting for their bread and will break the spines of these bloodsuckers. Parole der Woche was produced by the Nazi Party in Germany from 1936-1943. It was discontinued in 1943 because of paper shortages caused by the prolonged war.

    front, top, title, black ink : Wir - die ,, Habenichtse " ! . . [We - the " Have-Nots " ! . .]
    front, white rectangle, left, black ink : 46 Millionen Briten / 46 Millionen Briten verfügen über / 40 Millionen Quadratkilometer / Lebensraum, - / zusammengeraubt mit nackter / Gewalt in allen Teilen der Welt! / Das ist mehr als ein Viertel / der gesamten, nutzbaren / Erdoberfläche ! [46 million Brits control over 40 million square kilometers of land – stolen by brute force in every part of the world! That is more than a quarter of all the inhabitable space on earth !]
    front, white rectangle, right, blank ink : 86 Millionen Deutsche / dagegen / müssen sich auf / 600 000 Quadrat- / kilometern um / ihr tägliches Brot / abrackern ! [86 million Germans on the other hand must earn their daily bread from 600,000 square kilometers !]
    front, right, black ink : Warum aber hat dann England uns,- den Habe- / nichtsen, - den Krieg erklärt? Weil jene Handvoll / Plutokraten, die trotz des britischen Riesen- / besitzes die breiten Massen ihres eigenen Volkes / in Slums und Arbeitslosigkeit verkommen läßt, / - weil eben diese Ausbeuterclique das Beispiel / des deutschen Sozialstaates fürchtete, in dem die / Arbeit mehr als das Kapital und die Interessen / des Volkes mehr als der Profit einer kleinen Clique / gelten! Aber die plutokratischen Blutsauger in / London mögen dessen versichert sein : Wir Habe- /nichtse werden ihnen das Rückgrat brechen, weil / wir für unser Brot, sie dagegen für Dividenden / aus dem Blute der Völker kämpfen! - Wie / schrieb doch zu Beginn des Krieges jener britische / Diplomat? : ,,Einer muß gehen!'' - Das national- / sozialistische Deutschland wird dafür sorgen, / daß die britische Schmarotzerkaste gehen muß - / und zwar für immer ! ! [But why then has England declared war on us, the have nots? Because of those handful of plutocrats who let the broad masses of their own people rot in slums and unemployment, despite the British great possessions - simply because this clique of exploiters feared the example of Germany in which the labor is greater than the capital and the interests of the people is greater than the profit of a small clique! But the plutocratic bloodsuckers in London may be assured of this: We have-nots will break their spines, because we are fighting for our bread, while they fight for dividends from the blood of the nations! - What wrote that British diplomat at the beginning of the war? :,, One must go'' - Nazi Germany will ensure that the parasites of the British caste must go - and forever ! !]
