Looks very interesting John , as has been said maybe its a reprint or perhaps a modern retro style one. I find it odd that the Swastikas in the corners are flat side down , I always though that the reich had them stood on the corner , isnt the flat side down the Hindu symbol for peace? Tony

John, I have one of those too, they came free with the first few magazines in the (I think) 'Images of War' collection. The magazines used to come in a plastic pouch and contained news paper facsimiles relating to the battles the issue was dealing with. I think the issue that came with the poster was the Dunkirk one, and the Battle of Britain issue came with a ration card from memory.

Or maybe it was the other way around...

The swashtika was on it's corner on all vehicles uniforms and flags but on the standards they carried on parades it was flat

No mater how it's displayed it is known in the Hindu religion of hope and peace also a symbol of prosperity
