Hungersnot bedeutet der Verlust der Ostprovinzen! ... Deutsche! Rettet den Osten! Freiwillige vor! / C.H. Becker.

Poster shows a gaunt, starving woman seated with three starving children huddled near her and one starving or dead child(?) on her lap. Text exhorts people to volunteer for the local militias and protect the eastern German provinces, proclaiming that half the bread ration comes from the eastern provinces and half the coal ration from Upper Silesia, and without these provinces, Germans will have no heat, no light, no work and no life.
