Anti-American propaganda poster highlighting Nazi objections to what were perceived as 'American culture'. These include: The sexual promiscuity of American women; gangsterism and gun violence; materialism and commercialism, blacks and black degenerate music; indiscriminate US bombing ('terror-fliegen'), American jingoism and militarism; the malevolent influence of Jews and Freemasons.<br/><br/> The poster, which manages to pack in a great deal of anti-American, racist imagery, smacks of growing Nazi desperation as the Alied invasion of Europe looms.
'Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., 17 January 1942 - 3 June 2016) was an American boxer who was the Heavyweight Champion of the World three times between 1964 and 1979.<br/><br/> An early anti Vietnam War activist, Ali refused the draft and memorably commented: 'They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. ... Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail'.
The Second Indochina War, known in America as the Vietnam War, was a Cold War era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and was fought between North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the U.S. and other anti-communist nations. The U.S. government viewed involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam and part of their wider strategy of containment.<br/><br/> The North Vietnamese government viewed the war as a colonial war, fought initially against France, backed by the U.S., and later against South Vietnam, which it regarded as a U.S. puppet state. U.S. military advisors arrived beginning in 1950. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s, with U.S. troop levels tripling in 1961 and tripling again in 1962. U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. Operations spanned borders, with Laos and Cambodia heavily bombed. Involvement peaked in 1968 at the time of the Tet Offensive.<br/><br/> U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973. The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese army in April 1975 marked the end of the US-Vietnam War.
Among the music listed by the Nazis as degenerate was music composed by Jews, atonal music, music with obvious sexuality, and Jazz due to its African American origins. The saxophone was banned in Nazi Germany.<br/><br/> The Entarte Music logo is an obscenely distorted picture of the original poster for the opera Johnny Spielt Auff, with the black saxophonist displaying a Star of David in his coat, rather than a flower.<br/><br/> The opera, combining classical opera techniques with jazz, Broadway, and spirituals, was hailed by many and disdained by some when it debuted in 1927. Later, it became a symbol for the most filthy degenerate art during Nazism.
