These are the fronts and backs (following post) of collectors\u2019 cards from German cigarette cartons. These tiny cigarette cards (2\u201d x 2.5\u201d), as they were known, are fascinating cultural artifacts that were produced by German tobacco companies during the Weimar and Nazi eras, c. 1924-1939. They featured images and brief accounts of heroic German leaders and great moments in German history meant to rally the spirits of the German people during the dark days of the post-war era of the 1920s, and to inspire the people during the early years of the Third Reich. They also featured images of German movie stars and Native Americans to provide entertainment for Germans, and, most likely, to sell cigarettes. The cards, printed in color, were created in several differently-themed sets, such as \u201cPostwar Times,\u201d \u201cFrom the Lives of the Indians,\u201d \u201cColorful Movie Images,\u201d \u201cThe Greatest Moments in World History,\u201d and \u201cHighlights of German History.\u201d Cigarette card collecting was a popular hobby during this era, and Germans could display and enjoy their cards in the collectors\u2019 albums sold by the tobacco companies. When completed, these albums provided Germans with images and stories of national greatness, past and present. <\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
