"Der deutsche Luftsport ruft dich". I have this poster for the Flieger-Hitler-Jugend. I am sure that I have seen it before somewhere, but my usual reference books and the internet yields no clues. I am sure it is somewhere obvious, can someone put me out of my misery and tell me where please.

I don't know either. With just dunes and sea visible it could be anywhere along the German coast really :)
 
Here's another DLV propaganda poster with the same text

(From Bundesarchiv)

Artist: Grafiker Jupp Wiertz | 1933/37

The German Air Sports Association (DLV) was founded in March 1933 by the NSDAP to create a unified basis for military aviation training. The chairman of the association was Hermann Göring, vice chairman was Ernst Röhm.


In 1937 the DLV was dissolved and the successor organization National Socialist Air Corps (NSFK) was founded. The NSFK was a body of public law and was under the responsibility of the Reichsluftfahrtminister Hermann Göring.

Flieger-HJ was trained by DLV and later NSFK.

Artist: Jupp Wiertz

At the beginning of 1938, Jupp Wiertz, working with paint spraying equipment, contracted a wound infection followed by sepsis (blood poisoning), from which the artist did not recover. As the year wore on, his health deteriorated rapidly. On January 7, 1939 Jupp Wiertz died in Berlin at the age of 50 in multi-organ failure.

Thanks Henrik :thumb: That DLV badge design is one of my favourites.
 
Thanks Cemifor for the additional info.

The artist of my poster is not Jupp Wiertz. I am not sure I can make it out (Paul Helney - Strehl ?), so I have attached a picture of the artist's signature.
