Scope and Content

Nazi propaganda broadside produced for the March 29, 1936, Reichstag election and plebiscite on the remilitarization of the Rhineland. It urges people to vote for Hitler because of the growth and improvement in public health, living space, security, and standard of living provided in Germany from 1932-1935 by Nazi Party rule. It compares these rates to the deteriorating conditions of the Weimar Republic. The poster was issued by the Nazi Party, Wurttemberg-Hohenzollern District. The election had only Nazi party candidates. The referendum was to approve, after the fact, the German reclamation of sovereignty of the Rhineland in western Germany, an area that had been demilitarized under the Treaty of Versailles; 98.9% of the population voted in favor of the action.
