Rare posters seized by Nazis

The posters were seized from Hans Sachs' home in 1938 on the orders of the Nazi Propaganda Minister, who wanted them for his own museum, the AP reports. Born in 1881, Sachs was a dentist who began collecting posters while in high school and by 1905 was Germany's leading private poster collector. After the seizure, he was arrested and thrown in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp north of Berlin. After two weeks, he was released and fled to America with his family.
