Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The Nazi party then attempted to humanize Hitler to show that what he was doing was maybe for the greater good, the German children. It was a way that they tried to get people to look past what they could have heard however this attempt at humanity did not feel all that sincere. The propaganda poster depicts another idyllic version of Hitler smiling and holding a child while two more stand beside him. There are some brighter colors and Hitler is seen as smiling while the children seem stern and serious. The statement at the bottom reads “Children with the Leader”. There is no unifying call to action, nothing that warrants a togetherness of the German people. In fact, in stands to reason that at the time when the majority of the world saw this they would be horrified at the image of children being associated with Hitler and the Nazi party.
