Ads from East Germany, 1946-1979
There is a good collection of German ads by year HERE (and for each year as linked below). What makes it unique is the number of EAST German ads.
My only complaints are the complicated navigation on the site (which I tried to overcome for you below) and the tiny size of the images.
"Friends of the Housewife" [cleaning supplies]
"You see it in them every day. Exquisit - always well cared for"
[Exquisit stores sold high-end Western goods for Western money.]
Even the East had a visionary "Our World of Tomorrow".
And Kitties, of course. :D
New Germany The most significant daily paper of the German Democratic Republic"
VEB Sachsenwerk, Radeberg (TVs)
"Demand your [Egg] Liqueur in Pührer's Waffle Cups"
Men's Fashion "Modelle", Dresden
