Ersatzkommando Waffen SS shirt

(000228.79-E000157.73NRLOSUC20V)   

Ersatzkommando der Waffen SS (literally translates to ‘Replacement Command of the Waffen SS’), the 1943 Belgian World War II recruitment poster created by the Nazi German occupying forces, and featuring Bertau art of a giant SS symbol literally slaying a Jewish/Bolshevik red dragon, with the silhouette of a German soldier holding a grenade in the background.
Toward the end of World War II, Germany had a massive need for more soldiers, and they actively recruited in some of the countries they occupied, including Belgium.

The poster has really wild art of the SS symbol (worn by Nazi members of the Schutzstaffel, the paramilitary brand of the Nazi Party that operated throughout German occupied Europe) literally stabbing a fallen red dragon, which has human remains by it, indicating that the dragon has been literally eating its victims.

The dragon has a chain around its neck with both a Jewish star and a red Communist star with a hammer and sickle emblem. If you wonder why a dragon was chosen as the symbol, it was likely partly because the dragon was associated with the beast from The Book of Revelations, and also with Satan, and of course, Germany’s greatest folk hero, Siegfried, slew a dragon, and no doubt the poster designer was looking for those parallels.

This design is on the front of your choice of either white or ash t-shirt, tank top, long sleeve or baseball shirt (baseball shirts are only white). All shirts are 100% cotton.

The ink is Permafused into the fabric for a soft feel with sharp detail that will last for years.
