Title: WWII Italian Propaganda Post by: Alan65 on 23 August 2009, 19:07:43 (http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x241/Alanp_photo/WWII/Italyanticommunismfront.jpg)
I have seen several postcards in this series of Italian anti-Communist propaganda. They all have a quote from Mussolini as a caption; this one reads: "One danger threatens our culture, our integrity and our civilization, and this danger is Bolshevism."Since the quote is dated 1937, this probably refers to the Spanish Civil War--in which Italian and German units fought Russian communists--but this particular postcard was mailed in July of 1943, sent as feldpost from an Italian soldier so the message still resonated with many during WWII.

I don't see the cards you have pictured here but take a look: http://cartoline.delcampe.it/list.php?submitted=Y&language=I&cat=857&var=Cartoline-Postali-Tematica-Militari-Guerra-1939-45&action=current&startedtodaynorenewval_dd=1&endingtodayval_hh=24&sort=price_present_ASC&listtype=onlygallery_Y&listitemsperpage=100&nbpage=20&x=10&y=12&page=19&rs_count=1972 (http://cartoline.delcampe.it/list.php?submitted=Y&language=I&cat=857&var=Cartoline-Postali-Tematica-Militari-Guerra-1939-45&action=current&startedtodaynorenewval_dd=1&endingtodayval_hh=24&sort=price_present_ASC&listtype=onlygallery_Y&listitemsperpage=100&nbpage=20&x=10&y=12&page=19&rs_count=1972) I look at a lot of postcards; I would not be surprised to see the cards you have pictured in the $15-30 USD range (they look to have corner/edge wear in these scans.) An especially striking image (some Italian anti-US propaganda portrays Black US soldiers desecrating churches and/or Italian women) could fetch much more ($100-200.) Also, I can't read the artist's signature in the lower right; don't know of any Italian artists that command higher prices, but there may be some. (Some German artist have quite a following) |
