Wird Weihnachten auch eine Sorgenlose! (May Christmas also be a carefree one!) encourages charitable giving during the Christmas season. A Christmas tree lit with candles rises above an industrial landscape of factories and smokestacks, visually linking holiday generosity with support for workers or wartime relief efforts. Oberschlesien (Upper Silesia) / Wahret die Einheit Schlesiens! (Preserve the Unity of Silesia) emphasizes the importance of keeping all of Silesia united, claiming that it belongs to the Motherland, Germany. Kriegs-Echo by Walter Buhe advertises the weekly war news magazine published during World War I.
