Paragraph
We chose these WWII posters in order to provide multiple perspectives to students.
The purpose of this lesson is for students to examine how governments use
propaganda to manipulate people. All of these posters are examples of how each
individual country used different techniques to accomplish the same goal. This lesson
meets the standard of being able to analyze and interpret historical materials from a
variety of perspectives.

“Here are the

Boccasile’s 1944 postcard
depicted “pistol-packing”
Churchill and Roosevelt over a
ruined city and dead children with
a pirate flag in the background.
The title of the card was “Su loro
ricade la colpa,” which can be
translated as, “The fault falls on
them.” Germans and Italians both
referenced a quote from a prewar
Roosevelt speech in which he
told the American people, “I
assure you again and again and
again that no American boys will
be sacrificed on foreign
battlefields.”

USA: Stamp out the Axis
Von Phul, Phil, artist

holding a stamp with an
American star ready to
stamp out a Nazi
swastika during World
War II.

Germany
Liberators: 1944
German Propaganda
Poster
(Context)
RUSSIA
GERMANY: The text:
"Long live Germany!”
Propaganda poster
depicting Hitler being
strangled by fabric
pulled tight by
Russian, British, and
American hands.
This poster shows an
astonishing
Christological
comparison. An eagle
hovers against the
seeming light of
heaven over an
idealized Hitler, similar
to the story of a dove
descending on Christ
when he was baptised
by John the Baptist.
The Farmer Too is
Contributing to the
War Effort
During World War II,
Nazi propagandists
frequently depicted “the
Jew” as a conspirator
plotting world
domination by acting
behind the scenes in
nations at war with
Germany. This caricature
represents the “Jewish
financier” manipulating
the Allies, Great Britain,
the United States, and
the Soviet Union.
Hanisch, artist; ca. 1942.

JAPAN: Their true
character is that of
devils and beasts
JAPAN: CAPITALISTS
DEMAND RED
ENDLESSLY! It’s your
blood doughboys! But
more and still more is
to be squeezed out.
JAPAN: RISE OF ASIA
ENGLAND: KEEP CALM
AND CARRY ON
RUSSIA: MOTHERLAND
IS CALLING YOU
USA: WE CAN DO IT
This poster depicts
caricatures of
Winston Churchill and
Franklin Roosevelt
feasting on the bones
of their victims.
Another leaflet to the
Philippines depicted a
hand squeezing blood
out of soldiers almost
like a tube of
toothpaste. Dead
soldiers are shown at
the right and the
word "Philippines" at
the left.
To them, their invasions
of Korea, Taiwan, China,
the Philippines, and the
island chains of the South
Pacific were an attempt to
relieve the region of
outside influence and
create an Asian-led
“Co-Prosperity Sphere.”
To further this idea, and
to convince the people of
their new colonies to
accept the reality of
Japanese rule, they
created the “Rise of Asia”
poster. Depicting a noble
looking Japanese soldier
throwing off the chains of
European rule and
standing over defeated
caricatures of Britain and
the United States, it was
meant to signal that a new
order was rising to free
the long oppressed
peoples of Asia.
To keep up morale, the
British Ministry of
Information
commissioned a series of
posters to remind citizens
of their national
character. The most
iconic of these was “Keep
Calm and Carry On.” A
simple message in bold
type underneath a picture
of the crown, it captured
the core of the British
identity.
Once the Russians
entered the war, they
produced a recruiting
poster of their own that
rivaled Uncle Sam’s call
for soldiers in popularity
and
effectiveness. Instead of
using a steely eyed father
figure to recruit soldiers
to their patriotic duty, the
Russians used a woman.
Besides the very real need
to convince citizens to
sign up for military
service, governments also
had to convince the
people who stayed behind
of the importance of their
war efforts. In the U.S.,
which found itself in need
of an incredible amount
of skilled workers to
produce the materials it,
the U.K., and Russia
needed to fight the Axis,
many of the most
memorable propaganda
posters were aimed at the
civilian population.
