One-sheet poster with a yellow background printed on rectangular, off-white paper with a narrow, white margin on all four sides. At the top of the poster, printed in red ink, is a line of advertising copy, with additional black copy along the upper right side. Filling much of the top half of the poster is a large, photographic image of a man in a brown suit gripping a woman in a pink blouse by the shoulders. She has curly hair and is looking over her right shoulder, as she leans away from him with furrowed brows, a tight mouth, and the whites of her eyes showing. Overlaying the image, in the center of the poster, is a small, black, rectangle with a tagline printed in red ink. The rectangle is shaped like a tag, and the string is looped around a black-and-white, photographic image of a man and woman embracing in a kiss on the right side of the poster. To the left of the tag, is another black-and-white, photographic image, depicting a diagonal line of uniformed soldiers in right profile, standing at attention. In the lower left corner of the poster, the film’s title is printed in stylized, red text, and the cast and credits are printed below in red and black text. In the lower right corner, is an image of a woman, depicted from the chest up. She has long, brown, curly hair, is wearing a low-cut, red blouse, and is looking seductively at the viewer. Printing information is in the bottom margin, printed in blue ink. The poster was previously folded into eight sections, and is heavily creased along the folds. The edges are stained and torn. Depicted: Claudia Drake as Maria Brandt, Paul Andor as Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Donald Woods as Dr. Hans Traeger, Beryl Wallace as Jenny Hartmann, others unidentified
