Ditjari Agen² NICA Oentoek Mengisi Neraka
A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features a skull labeled NICA being burned, with the text “Ditjari Agen² NICA Oentoek Mengisi Neraka,” which translates to “Wanted: NICA Agents to Fill Hell.” NICA, the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration, were soldiers prepared to regain control of the Dutch East Indies after Japan's surrender. This poster symbolizes the intense opposition to NICA and the determination to resist their reoccupation efforts. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," that contains reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947.
