Yup, I’m prey sure “Coke is it” wasn’t used until the 1960s.

That’s what I thought, too. ‘Coke is it’ wasn’t a slogan until the past few decades. Also, the eagle at the angle looked too hip. I don’t doubt Coke was there selling their elixer but I doubt that was a genuine ad. IMBW . . .

Not that American companies didn’t make money off the Nazis but advertising from that era had a certain feel.

The lead image does appear to be fake.

There are other "German" Coca-Cola "ads" at the jump but this is the only image with a swastika.

The Coca-Cola logo/font is very rough. The copyright/trademark notice after it is blurred beyond recognition (and too large for the font on that poster).

The bottom font looks like a Swiss/Helvetica font which I though was more of a post-war European thing.

The whole design looks "off" (the olympic rings in that usage seem more of a post-70s thing).
