Lettering

Kollwitz 19/30 Translation: At the doctor. Doctor: The patient is undernourished. He needs milk, eggs, meat and fat on a daily basis. Mother: Doctor, I haven't got enough money, I can't even buy what is available on coupons. Doctor: That's how profiteering achieves the ruin of our youth. How can you watch this happening? Let us all join the fight against this worst enemy of the nation! Report every profiteer relentlessly. All public prosecutor's offices and police authorities take your reports. Lettering: Beim Arzt. Arzt: Der Kranke ist stark unterernährt. Er braucht täglich Milch, Eier, Fleisch und Fett. Mutter: Herr Doktor, mir fehlt das Geld dazu, ich kann mir noch nicht einmal alles kaufen, was es auf Karten gibt! Arzt: So bringt der Wucher es fertig, dass unsere Jugend zugrunde geht! Könnt Ihr das ruhig mit ansehen? Helft alle im Kampf gegen diesen schlimmsten Feind des Volkes! Zeigt jeden Wucherer unnachsichtlich an! Alle Staatsanwaltschaften und Polizeibehörden nehmen Anzeigen entgegen.
