My Daddy is an amateur historian and philographer, so I get to see a lot of the old propaganda posters. I adore a good bunch of them, but I was wondering if any of you have a favourite. My current favourite is this one:

So... what's your favourite World War propaganda poster? It can be from any country at all, and if you have a special reason that you like it, please explain :D.

If you ever see the movie called the Bishops Wife(the one with Cary Grant). The wealthy woman in the movie was the WW1 poster girl. It's the blond in the Sailor outfit.

Was this the poster with the little blonde girl holding a bond and asking if her friends' daddies had bought bonds for them yet?

Ok, this isn't WWI or WWII, but I like it:

It's not WWII, but I would like to own this.

I mispoke. She was the number one pin-up girl for the British Troops.

That's actually a pretty cool image, I really like it.

Finally, some taste in art on NS.

It's Vladamir Lebedev; around 1921. Celebrating the Red Army and Navy destroying the capitalists. You should check out his other work.

I love the pre-stalin purge russian art.

I love this one, the art is fantastic, and it's much, much more interesting than the British blackout propaganda.

http://www.nork.ru/montage/verdunkeln.jpg

This is a German poster about the infantry, reading "Infantry, the Queen of the fighting services." (I think)

http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters/infan.jpg

These next two are just fantastic images with an excellent motto to them. I particularly like the image on the first one, actually.

Picture one says : Glory to the defenders of Moskva (Moscow).

http://members.fortunecity.com/stalinmao/Soviet/propaganda/slavazasjtjitnkikam.jpg

Picture two says : Soldiers of the Red Army, save us!

"German, be proud and keep quiet* - the enemy is listening#"
(*large print; #background print)
No bragging ;)

http://www.dhm.de/lemo/objekte/pict/d2b03293/index.jpg
"Now, people, get up and raise the storm"

This was printed in support of the "total war" doctrine.

http://www.dhm.de/lemo/objekte/pict/pk005368/index.jpg
"Not you are the benchmark, but the front is"

Very telling, this one.

Here's one from WWI

http://www.the-forum.com/posters/images/wwi113.jpg
People are urged to turn in their rabbit pelts to traders and breeders; the Army needs them. Collection center, war pelts.

http://www.the-forum.com/posters/images/wwii-79.jpg
http://www.the-forum.com/posters/images/wwii-66.jpg

And some more "lose lips sink ships" from the USA (or allies).

http://www.the-forum.com/posters/images/wwii-65.jpg
We'll Take Care of the Rising Sun - You Take Care of Rising Prices.

Very funny, that one.

http://www.the-forum.com/posters/images/wwii-29.jpg
Keep Pitching with Both Hands Brother.

Ouch! Reminds me of that movie "The Enemy Below"/"Duell im Atlantik".

"Not you are the benchmark, but the front"

*snip*

I don't understand the message on this one. Is the front the benchmark? I'm confused. :confused:

"you are not the standard! separate the front"??

Yes, that's it I guess.

Either
No matter what you've already done or accomplished and no matter what you do, the real judgement will be past on the front.

Or
It's aimed at the homefront, saying that no matter what shortages you might encounter, you don't count as much as the man in the field.

See, even after 60 years the nazis still confuse you :D

Whew! TELL me about it! I've searched for years for some of the outtakes from ( I think it was ) The Outlaw, to no avail. They censored some of the footage because she was "showing too much cleavage." :D

I kinda like the poster at the top.

What a huge difference a little verb like "is" makes when translating, huh?

Something else I found:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c3/PropagandaNaziStabsBible.gif/180px-PropagandaNaziStabsBible.gif
U.S. propaganda poster, depicting a Nazi stabbing a Bible.

That's really funny 'cause the belt buckle of the Wehrmacht soldiers looked like this:

The funny thing is, that's no more racist than a lot of the propaganda pictures used to be.

Certainly no more racist than the cartoons used to be.

Seconded. *waits for someone to start a thread about U.S. bashing.*

Does anyone find in funny that at the same time that the poster bashes the US for the Klan and immorality they also display blatantly offensive stereotypes of African Americans, women, ridicule Native Americans, and display open anti-Semitism (topped off with the classic Jewish banker stereotype)?

The Germans just couldn't get their propaganda right...

I can't see any anti-Semitism, as such.

No threads about U.S. bashing!

*he takes newspaper and start reading text named - pornshow*

The Star of David on the drum...it certainly doesn't represent Israel and doesn't praise the Jews for their musical skills. That's part of their "Der Jude: Kriegsanstifter, Kriegsverlänger" (The Jew: Agitator of War, Prolonger of War) propaganda.

Plus, the banker hiding behind the money has the distinct Jewish stereotypical portrayal used in Nazi propaganda with the exaggerated nose and facial features.

You can use the Magen David in a way which does not praise the Jews or represent Israel, without being anti-Semitic.

I see nothing abnormal about the banker, and do not assume him to be Jewish.

*puts down newspaper and looks at you*

I think that "worlds most beautiful legs" sign on that Amerodroid is funny, as well as fat Jew banker holding moneybag. LOL

*grabs newspaper again and start reading article - If you live at same continent as i am i would like to go on date with you*

Yes, but the Nazis didn't just use it there, they used it in many pieces of propaganda.

I see nothing abnormal about the banker, and do not assume him to be Jewish.

That was their intent. It looks very similar to other propaganda attacking the Jews, like the book Der Giftpilz or other posters.

The poster, on its own, is not anti-Semitic; that is what I am claiming.

Yes, but given the SS symbol in the corner and the Germanic architecture of the city being destroyed it would be hard to argue that it is not Anti-Semitic even if used in a non-Nazi manner.

And there's no way to conceal the fact that in the image African-Americans are stereotyped, as are women.

There was a WW2 Oz saying about American soldiers:

To which the Americans said about the Australians:
"Underpaid, under-sexed and under Macarthur"

The whole Tigerfibel. Perhaps not exactly propaganda (http://www.esatclear.ie/~godot/04.jpg), but still interesting.
