A German World War Two propaganda poster urging the return of Saar or Saarland in western Germany following a French ground invasion during the early stages of the war in 1939. The Allied plans were drawn up to assist Poland, then under invasion, by attacking Germany's understrength western front. When the quick victory in Poland allowed Germany to reinforce its lines with homecoming troops, the offensive was stopped. The French forces eventually withdrew amid a German counter-offensive later that year.
