Being Jewish, Oswald was forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1935 and eventually ended up in the United States. He returned to Germany following the end of World War II (WWII) and died there in 1963.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this poster before! Note that this is an extremely rare German poster from before World War II! Virtually no German posters survive from before World War II since apparently there were many paper shortages in Europe during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before and World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards. Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this German movie! Also note that this German poster was printed in Germany, but was intended to be used when the movie was shown in English speaking countries. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
