"Pflanzt Öl! Pflanzt Sonnenblumen und Mohn, Ihr Schafft dann Deutsches Öl und dient dem Vaterland! Samen und Anleitung gibt der Kriegsausschuss für Öle und Fette Berlin W.S" Plant oil! Plant sunflowers and poppies, then you create German oil and serve the fatherland! The War Committee for Oils and Fats Berlin W.S. gives seeds and instructions

This beautiful poster full of blooming sunflowers and poppies and chirping with birds doesn't look like a war poster at first glance. However, it acts as a call for help to supply the German army with oil during World War I.
