About the Item
May 1968 marked a tumultuous period in French history when political activism and social change were at the forefront. During these transformative times, a powerful and provocative political poster emerged, sending a clear message about resistance and dissent. The poster, titled "Achtung! Pour Tous les Sales Boulots Téléphonez à Hitler - C.D.R." became an iconic representation of the political and social upheaval that defined the era.
The 1968 poster carries a striking and provocative message. "Achtung," the German word for "attention," is a powerful choice for the poster's title, immediately demanding viewers' notice. The phrase "Pour Tous les Sales Boulots Téléphonez à Hitler" translates to "For All the Dirty Jobs, Call Hitler," a direct and acerbic commentary on the establishment and authority figures of the time.
The use of Hitler's name in this context is a bold and deliberate choice. It represents a stark indictment of those in power and is a clear call for resistance against authoritarianism and oppressive rule. The poster serves as an emblem of the counter-culture movement and political activism that characterized May 1968, a time when people were taking to the streets to demand change and question authority.
The poster bears the acronym "C.D.R.," which stands for "Comités de Défense de la République" or "Committees for the Defense of the Republic." These committees were formed by various left-wing and progressive groups during the events of May 1968. Their purpose was to mobilize people and engage in acts of civil disobedience in protest against the established political order.
The "Achtung!" poster is a powerful symbol of dissent and resistance during May 1968. It embodies the spirit of a generation that questioned authority and demanded social change. The provocative use of Hitler's name in this political context underscored the urgency and severity of the protesters' demands.
In subsequent years, the poster has become a collector's item and an important artifact in the history of political art. It continues to be a symbol of defiance and a reminder of the power of art to inspire change and challenge the status quo.
