    You know that ending slide with Don Throgg in it? I've found the inspiration for it, but hot damn, it's somewhat ironic that the inspiration for a communist comes from a piece of Nazi propaganda. Then again, perhaps it isn't.

    EDIT: Don Throgg ending slide can be seen in this video.

    The shirt is even crumpled in the exact same way.
    I always thought that Don Throgg slide reminded me of something.

    Ho. Leee. Fuck.

    That's just... I'm not sure if I'm freaked out or amused. I always knew it reminded me of something, but wow, this I was not expecting.

    Perhaps Dark Elf is a closet-nazi and this is the act of coming out?

    Indeed, since there aren't any actual copyright for that. Even if, a 90-year old gramps shouting "Hey, your game is stealing from my nazi poster!"?. Good luck for him.

    There are many cases of nazi materials being copyrighted

    And I'm not talking about nazi related stuff that has been created since

    And besides there are enough changes to call the donn throgg poster a derivative work which changes the aspect somewhat.

    If I was to guess, I would think that copyright of that kin of material has expired years ago. Nonetheless, the Don Throgg in-game poster could be seen as using a good motivation poster in a good way, at last. Of course good is a matter of perspective, but everyone know what I'm talking about.

    Troika seems to like such kind of real life inspirations. First general Burnside, now this.

    All good fantasy reflects the world we live in; Arcanum is not an exception to that.

    The owner would probably be the nazi ministry of propaganda... long gone ;)

    Btw, excellent find, Dark Elf!

    This poster was also stolen from a food wholesaler based in Oklahoma City in 1988. They just threw in a couple of things and presto... all American poster.
    Also would make a great title and cover for a gay porno.
