Ordene Arbejde, Frihed og Brød indgik i forskellige politiske propaganda-konstellationer før og under 2. verdenskrig i Nazi-Tyskland. Især brugt af kommunister og nazister. Freiheit und Brot (Frihed og Brød) blev bl.a. brugt af nazisterne i forbindelse med Rigsdagsvalget i 1936 – blandt andet på valgplakater og reversnåle.

Den nazistiske brug af Freiheit und Brot er også inspireret af den nazistiske kampsang Die Fahne hoch af Horst Wessel, der var SA-Sturmführer (SA var Nazi-partiets militære kampgruppe). I sangen indgår linien: Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an! (Dagen for frihed og brød bryder frem!). Over logoet på forsiden af det nazistiske dagblad Völkisher Beobachter findes også ordene Freiheit und Brot.

Grisehovedet henviser til den danske landbrugseksport til Nazi-Tyskland under 2. verdenskrig.

Op mod 15% af den tyske bybefolknings forbrug af kød og flæsk var eksport fra Danmark, samt ca. 10% af smørforbruget. Danske landmænd – og i øvrigt fiskere – tjente mange penge i samhandelen med tyskerne. Regnestykket kan også sættes således op: For hver dansk bonde, der leverede produkter til Nazi-Tyskland, kunne mindst én tysk landmand gå i nazistisk krigstjeneste.

The words Work, Freedom and Bread were included in various political propaganda messages before and during World War II in Nazi Germany. It was especially used by both Communists and Nazis. Freiheit und Brot (Freedom and Bread) was among others used by the Nazis in connection with the parliamentary elections in 1936 – especially used in election posters and lapel pins. The Nazi use of Freiheit und Brot was also inspired by the Nazi battle song Die Fahne hoch by Horst Wessel, who was in the SA Sturmführer (SA was the Nazi Party’s military fighting group). The song includes the lines: The day of freedom and bread is breaking forth! Above the logo on the front-page of the Nazi daily Völkischer Beobachter are also the words Freiheit und Brot.

The pig’s head refers to Danish agricultural exports to Nazi Germany during World War II. Up to 15% of the German urban population’s consumption of meat and pork was exported from Denmark, and approx. 10% of butter consumption. Danish farmers – and fishermen by the way – became rich off the trade with the Germans. The calculation was as follows: For every Danish farmer who supplied products to Nazi Germany, at least one German farmer could go into the Nazi war service.
