Featured Poster of the Week
"Let’s unmask the role of the social-fascist predators who are agents of capitalism disguising their preparations for new wars and interventions!"
The men unmasking the group behind the yellow curtain are members of the Rot Front (Red Front) a German paramilitary organization associated with the Communist Party. Although the Rot Front was technically a non-partisan organization its ranks were filled with communist sympathizers.
The flag just above the uniformed men reads ‘Red Front’ while the yellow curtain reads "2nd Communist International, Peace". Behind the curtain are a capitalist (wearing a top hat) and two members of the Social Democratic Party, an anti-Bolshevik political party. The poster was issued in 1932.
