This item is a custom printed tile accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to look like a miniature German recruitment or propaganda poster from the World War II era.
The poster specifically promotes service in the Kriegsmarine (the name of the German Navy from 1935-1945) and its formidable submarine force, the U-boat Arm. U-boats were central to Germany’s naval strategy, particularly during the Battle of the Atlantic.
The artwork on the tile has a distinct vintage style and features a heroic depiction of a German U-boat’s conning tower. On the bridge of the conning tower, three minifigure crew members are shown on watch, looking out to sea, which is meant to evoke a sense of adventure and duty.
The German text on the poster clearly identifies its subject:
- “Kriegsmarine” is the official name of the navy.
- “U.BOOT Waffe” translates to “U-boat Weapon” or, more accurately, the “U-boat Arm/Force.”
This accessory would be a perfect, historically-themed detail for a diorama of a German naval base, recruitment office, or U-boat scene from that period.
