Victory – The Great European Crusade
Propaganda poster from German-occupied France illustrated by Michel Jacquot. Between the text “VICTORY” and “THE GREAT EUROPEAN CRUSADE” rides a valiant European knight impaling a Bolshevik soldier propped up by a Churchill-esque figure representing international financial capital alongside a stereotypical Jewish caricature. 1 of 3 from the series of “VICTORY” posters from occupied France aimed at rallying local support for Germany’s war in the east, euphemistically referred to as the “Crusade against Communism”. Medieval romanticism and the imagery of knightly warriors are frequent motifs of the right-wing aesthetic, embodying pre-enlightenment ideals of masculinity, nobility, tradition, duty and martial valor. In doing so, it is the knight that bridges the traditionalist and martial philosophies of the European far-right.
