Original Norwegian propaganda poster designed by Harald Damsleth, the poster artist for Nasjonal Samling. The poster depicts a group of strong young men and women standing shoulder to shoulder under three flags: the Norwegian national flag, the black NS flag with the two swords, and a red and yellow party banner. The overall effect was intended to convey the impression of a strong, united, and combative nation.

The slogan “Vi vil oss et land” ("We Want Our Own Country") is based on a patriotic poem by Per Sivle (1890), but was appropriated by Vidkun Quisling and Nasjonal Samling as a propaganda slogan. This poster is considered one of Damsleth's best-known and most iconic designs.

Condition:

The poster is in excellent condition. The paper is sturdy and the colors are remarkably vibrant. The edges are also very well preserved, with no tears, paper loss, or noticeable signs of wear.
