4 rulers (2)

It was inspiring for the war effort if international cooperation was demonstrated. Everyone looked with appreciation at Germany’s military capabilities and technical equipment. Turkey was able to provide a wide geographical perspective for the alliance of the Central Powers. War propaganda also tried to emphasize international military cooperation.

Most of the propaganda badges of the Monarchy combined the national colors of the four allied countries. Often, soldiers from the four countries were shown, but in this regard, mainly the soldiers of the Monarchy and Germany were featured together. In some cases, we see joint portraits of the rulers on the badges. The best known and most common of these is the badge decorated with the busts of the four emperors. A postcard was also decorated with this Kappenabzeichen, which I have presented here. Now we can see a wearing photo with this badge.
