[QUOTE="Alsos, post: 886569, member: 8894"] Part of the problem is that the artist didn't really capture the vaguely unsettling nature of actual Nazi propaganda posters. If you stripped away the swastikas, the armband, and the doll's saluting arm, it would look like a motorcycle cop posing with his altogether nice family - completely unobjectionable. The father and the son don't quite have that over-perfected Teutonic warrior [i]ubermensch[/i] vibe of the real thing, or the mother the gleam of fanaticism to go with her Motherhood medal, or the daughter the "Village of the Damned" uncanniness. For this to have worked optimally, it really needed to be subtly and subconsciously disturbing even without the obvious symbolism. And oh, would the [i]scheiss[/i] have [i]really[/i] hit the fan then. [/QUOTE]
