Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer!
Amongst the most iconic posters of the Second World War, an election poster depicting the Führer and a famous Nazi slogan.
The catchphrase “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!” (One people, one realm, one leader!) refers to the unshakable solidarity of Germany through blood, soil and the Führer. The concept of Blut und Boden (Blood and Soil) emerged from a longing for a simpler era, when peasants worked their land in harmony with nature, and when tribe and territory were one. This mystical past had profound romantic appeal on both the wider population and political elites. Meanwhile, Hitler acted as a messianic leader figure, with the philosopher Carl Jung reaching the metaphysical conclusion that Hitler was nothing other than his own unconscious, into which the German people projected their own selves; that is, he was but a vessel to carry out the collective, unconscious will of seventy-eight million Germans. Hitler was but the Gestalt manifestation of Germany itself.
