The add with the ME-109 flying straight at you (for Daimler Benz?) is my fave. Take some pics of some of your's when you have a chance. Actually "vintage ads" might make for an interesting thread

I'd never seen this ad before, very well done!

Surprisingly on the nose for an ad. "Yeah, my buddy almost burned to death, glad we had this zipper..." HAH. Suppose if you're in the zipper business you've got to grab their attention.

Wish we still had these. Half my zippers have broken off my flight suits.

Will dive in soon.

Some of the cooler ads...

Some of the cooler lads.

And a full on 'Mein Gott'!

Shocked, surprised, intrigued and aroused all in one. These Germans were ahead of the game. Rockets, Armour and Morale!

The fonts they used are so distinctive. Art deco-esque and elegant. And the woman holding the beer cannot be improved upon save if she were leaning over a fully laid out table full of schnitzel, red cabbage etc.. Galland is so young in that pic, freshly awarded. Good stuff!

Nudity in a propaganda periodical in the 40s... Mind blown.

And here I was diving through National Geographic?

Were 'Captain Girl's' a thing? Asking for a recently promoted friend.

I'd say they were definitely an incentive...
