An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Behind the German Lines, the 1928 German silent World War I (WWI) documentary ("Actually photographed on the battlefields of the Great War."; it was a combination of lots of actual wartime newsreel footage, with a few studio shot scenes to bridge in between the newsreel footage). In 1928, UFA, the giant German film company, made a 3-part film called "The World War as Seen Through German Spectacles" (each part was 2 hours long, and apparently it was released in the U.S. in 5 parts that same year). That series was done with the cooperation of the German government, and therefore, it was very pro-German, presenting the "German view" of World War I. Later that same year, UFA followed that up with this movie, but this documentary was not sanctioned by the government, so it gave a more even view of the war. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that movie paper from the first UFA documentary seems to be virtually nonexistent (we have never auctioned any), and movie paper from this second UFA documentary is almost as rare (we have auctioned a single half-sheet and a single window card, and nothing else)! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1928 movie posters from this German World War I documentary are incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single poster from this movie until we received this half-sheet! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! It is somewhat fragile, and we feel it would be a mistake to attempt to roll it, because it might well cause it to become damaged. Therefore, we will ship it in a large flat package, unless the new owner insists on rolling it. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has paper loss in the left blank border and a 3" L-shaped tear in the right of the top border that has tape on the back of it. Someone once lightly tried to roll it, and that caused partial faint vertical creases every 3-4". There are some smudges in the bottom right of the circular area (see our image). The poster is somewhat fragile, but not that bad when you consider the age of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
