# Zeichnet Kriegsanleihe (Subscribe to the War Loan), eagle and dove

A black eagle's head fills the top of the sheet while a white dove with an olive branch flies below it over a wooded landscape. The two national and peace symbols are placed on the call to subscribe, so that buying war bonds reads as both strength and peace; no terms of the loan are printed.
