WESTFRONT 1918

Original Swedish 28 inch by 38 inch Poster for the 1930 G.W. Pabst War Film WESTFRONT 1918, based on the novel Vier von der Infanterie by Ernst Johannsen and starring Fritz Kampers, Gustav Diessl, Jackie Monnier, Hanna Hoessrich and Hans-Joachim Moebis.

A mercilessly realistic depiction of the nightmare that scarred a generation, in Germany and beyond. Digging into the trenches with four infantrymen stationed in France in the final months of World War I, Pabst illustrates the harrowing ordeals of battle with unprecedented naturalism, as the men are worn away in body and spirit by firefights, shelling, and the disillusion that greets them on the home front.

The poster is in very good condition with a small piece out of the bottom border. The poster has been Linen-Backed.
