UNIQUE and UNUSUAL WW2 RATION SHEET DESIGN
This striking multi-color 8" x 12" food ration sheet is printed in Spanish. It is related to the Falangist or Fascist movement led by Francisco Franco that was allied with Nazi Germany during WW2. Germany supplied Franco with arms. He in turn supplied Spain's most elite fighting force, the dreaded Division Azul (Blue Division) to fight on the Eastern Front.
This sheet depicts an armed Nazi soldier on a motorcycle forging ahead through the snow and bitter cold in the historic Battle for Leningrad Russia. He is followed by a truck. The soldier's face mask and the grey color tones create an eerie sense of dread.
This sheet commemorates the Division Azul (Blue Division). This division was comprised of elite forces that fought with the Nazis against the Russians on the Eastern Front!! The Swastika at the lower right is integrated into the Falangist Symbol of 5 Arrows and the colors of the Fascist Spanish Flag!!
One side of the sheet has 10 "Social Auxiliary" (charitable) ration coupons, each redeemable for a different commodity such as rice, sugar, bread, beans, salt or corn. The perforations around each coupon are visible on the pictorial side which adds a unique 3-D texture to the picture which looks hand painted!!! Location and design of coupons on back may vary.
