The red mouthpiece

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The red mouthpiece was an agitprop troop of the 1920s and early 1930s.

She was one of the leading agitprop groups of her time. Partly well-known artists belonged to it, above all its long-time director Maxim Vallentin .

The group's “Rote Fahne” song, which protested against bans on communist press products, was also used by other play troops and has been preserved as a record, among others. The red mouthpiece was also on the feature film Kuhle Wampe or: Who Owns the World? involved and heard here in the choir with others with Brecht's solidarity song.
