Added some. There's another couple on Commons, but the images are not very clean. HLHJ (talk) 20:09, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out that these are not PD under German law, and must be used under fair use.HLHJ (talk) 03:41, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit[edit]

Thank you for copyediting this article, Bazza 7. It's much improved. I've edited it in response; not reverts, but clarifications where your edits made it clear to me that I had been ambiguous, a cite, and a few further refinements of phrasing (I find it very difficult to improve my own phrasing until I get someone else's perspective on it). The only thing I'm a bit dissatisfied by is the WP:TRANSCRIPTION of the caption of the last ad; the connotations of the German slogan are difficult to translate, but highly relevant to the political situation (the party was striving to give its indefinite assumption of power an air of democratic legitimacy, and encourage the whole population to identify with the party). It's hard to translate without picking an interpretation, which task ideally should be left to the reader. HLHJ (talk) 03:41, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
