"Durch" is a German word that translates to "through" in English and can be used in various contexts and has different meanings depending on the situation. In the historical context, "durch" was often associated with significant events or propaganda during World War I. One example of this is the RMS Lusitania, a British passenger ship sunk by a German submarine in 1915. The sinking of this ship was used as propaganda by both sides to sway public opinion towards their cause. A commemorative medal depicting the event serves as a reminder of the power of propaganda during wartime. Another example can be found at the Hygiene Museum Dresden, where leaflets and other items from that era are displayed. These artifacts shed light on how information was disseminated through printed materials and highlight the importance placed on hygiene during those times. The poster titled "Die Eroberung von China durch die Englander" (The Conquest of China by the English) depicts Germany's perception of England's actions during World War I. It reflects Germany's view that England aimed to expand its influence globally through military conquests. In another German World War I poster titled "Der Wahlsturm fegt durchs Land. " (The Election Storm Sweeps Through The Country. ), we see a man dressed in red symbolizing revolution or change sweeping across Germany. This image represents political movements and upheaval happening throughout Europe during that time. Similarly, another poster called "Der Wahlsturm fegt durchs Land. Bayerisch-Weissblau gegen R. " showcases Bavarian nationalism against Russia, emphasizing regional pride amidst global conflict. Moving beyond posters, there are also references to specific events such as the Battle of Vendemiaire depicted on the front side of Mars Field on October 22nd, 1798 (1 Vendemiaire des Jahres VII). This battle marked Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power and his subsequent establishment of the French Consulate.
