HITLER'S CHILDREN (1942) 4212

Original RKO Half Sheet Poster (22x28). Very fine plus condition.

Original RKO Half Sheet Poster (22x28) for the Edward Dmytryk war drama, HITLER'S CHILDREN (1943) starring Tim Holt, Bonita Granville, Kent Smith, and Otto Kruger. Based on Gregor Ziemer's book "Education for Death," this film tells the story of a Nazi officer (Holt) who falls in love with a freedom-fighting American girl (Granville) in World War II Germany. Topping all RKO box office grosses up to that time, this war propaganda film revealed a number of shocking practices of the Nazis that would offend American sensibilitiesÌ¢åÛåÓlike forcing women to have babies even out of wedlock, sterilizing women who were uncooperative or otherwise undesirable, fostering open hostility to Christianity, and brainwashing youth and encouraging them to violence against their enemies. This original half sheet poster is in very fine plus condition. This is a first class example of an American propaganda film of the World War II era. There is a legend of a long ago vertical fold in the poster, but no horizontal fold.
