Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/WWI German poster

An das deutsche Volk!

Original - Negotiations for a peace treaty that would have ended World War I opened in December 1916, when the Germans offered to end the war, declaring themselves the victors. However, the Allies rejected the offer. This German poster from January 1917 quotes a speech by Kaiser Wilhelm II lambasting the Allies for their decision.

Reason: An interesting document with pretty good art, showing a side of the propoganda of WWI that we don't get to see as often: The Germans'. I've done a little levels adjustment on this - it makes it a lot more readable - but wanted to keep some of the signs of its age, so didn't do too much.

Oppose - I don't think it adds much to either article. I also would rather see it in the articles for a bit longer before nomination. Cacophony (talk) 03:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
