When 93,939 signed up
The poster’s appeal belongs to the mobilisation that followed Parliament’s decision on 29 May 1940, after Germany’s occupation of Denmark and Norway. The Home Guard was initially expected to comprise 50,000 volunteers, but 93,939 were accepted in its first year – a figure that captures the tension of the preparedness era.

The story behind the motif
Poster with the illustration "The Home Guard is calling" and is one Swedish mobilization poster from World War II. It is part of Sweden's war propaganda during World War II.

The poster from around the 1940s urges to "Get up! The Home Guard is calling!" and was part of a campaign to recruit more people to Hemvärnet, a voluntary defense organization in Sweden.

The image has a simple design with a soldier in uniform who stands in a challenging stance and holds a rifle. Next to him is a passive man sitting in a chair who appears to be in a relaxed state, which contrasts with the soldier's action.

Frame not included.

Please note that the images are cropped slightly differently depending on the size you choose. Read more about image and image quality here: FAQ.
