Part 1In the coming posters, pictures of fists,
muscles, tools, and artillery convey American strength. Patriotic colors of red, white, and blue predominate as national symbols and
heroes appeal to patriotism.

1 -Man the Guns ! Join the Navy
by McClelland Barclay, 1942
Masculine strength was a common visual theme in
patriotic posters. Pictures of powerful men and mighty
machines illustrated America`s ability to channel its formidable strength into
the war effort. American muscle was presented in a proud display of national
confidence.

2 -it's a Women’s war too !Longing Won`t Bring Him Back Sooner...Get a War Job!
by Lawrence Wilbur, 1944
In the face of acute wartime labor shortages, women were needed in the defense industries, the civilian service, and even the Armed Forces. Despite the continuing 20th century trend of women entering the workforce, publicity campaigns were aimed at those women who had never before held jobs. Poster and film images glorified and glamorized the roles of working women and suggested that a woman`s femininity need not be sacrificed. Whether fulfilling their duty in the home, factory, office, or military, women were portrayed as attractive confident, and resolved to do their part to win the war.

•3 -United ..We Win! •Private Joe Louis
Says--
•During World War II, racial restriction and segregation were facts of life in the U.S. military. Nevertheless, an overwhelming majority of African Americans participated wholeheartedly in the fight against the Axis powers. They did so, however, with an eye toward ending racial discrimination in American society. This objective was expressed in the call, initiated in the black press for the "Double V"-victory over fascism abroad and over racism at home.
The Government was well aware of the demoralizing effects of racial prejudice on the American population and its impact on the war effort. Consequently, it promoted posters, pamphlets, and films highlighting the participation and achievement of African
Americans in military and civilian life ..

4 -Use it Up , Wear it Out ! During the war years, gasoline, rubber, sugar, butter, and meat were rationed. Government publicity reminded people that shortages of these materials occurred because they were going to the troops, and that
civilians should take part in conservation and salvage campaigns .
When You Ride Alone You Ride With Hitler!by Weimer Pursell, 1943
Save Waste Fats for Explosivesby Henry Koerner, 1943

5 -Four Freedoms President Roosevelt was a gifted communicator. On January 6, 1941, he addressed Congress, delivering the historic "Four Freedoms" speech. At a time when Western Europe lay under Nazi domination, Roosevelt presented a vision in which the American ideals of individual liberties were extended throughout the world. Alerting Congress and the nation to the necessity of war, Roosevelt articulated the ideological aims of the conflict. Eloquently, he appealed to Americans` most profound beliefs about freedom.
The speech so inspired illustrator Norman Rockwell that he created a series of paintings on the "Four Freedoms" theme. In the series, he translated abstract concepts of freedom into four scenes of everyday American life. Although the Government initially rejected Rockwell`s offer to create paintings on the "Four Freedoms" theme, the images were publicly circulated when The Saturday Evening Post, one of the nation`s most popular magazines, commissioned and reproduced the paintings. After winning public approval, the paintings served as the centerpiece of a massive U.S. war bond drive and were put into service to help explain the war`s aims.

1 -Warning ! Our homes are in danger now!
•Public relations specialists advised the U.S. Government that the most effective war posters were the ones that appealed to the emotions. The posters shown here played on the public's fear of the enemy. The images depict Americans in imminent danger-their backs against the wall, living in the shadow of Axis domination.

Keep These Hands Off!by G. K. Odell
A study of commercial posters undertaken by the U.S.
Government found that images of women and children in danger
were effective emotional devices. The Canadian poster at right was part of the study and served as a model for American posters, such as the one below, that adopted a
similar visual theme

Don`t Let That Shadow Touch Themby Lawrence B. Smith, 1942
’‘We`re Fighting toprevent This’’by C. R. Miller
![Page 27: Posters of the war](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052509/55d4a423bb61eb51618b46fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2-This is Nazi Brutality!
•Many of the fear-inspiring posters depicted Nazi acts of atrocity. Although brutality is always part of war, the atrocities of World War II were so terrible, and of such magnitude, as to engender a new category of crime--crimes against humanity. The images here were composed to foster fear. Implicit in these posters is the idea that what happened there could happen here.
![Page 28: Posters of the war](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052509/55d4a423bb61eb51618b46fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This is Nazi Brutalityby Ben Shahn, 1942
Lidice was a Czech mining village that was obliterated by the Nazis in retaliation for the 1942 shooting of a Nazi official by two Czechs. All men of the village were killed in a 10-hour massacre; the women and children were sent to concentration camps. The destruction of Lidice became a symbol for the brutality of Nazi occupation during World War II.

We French Workers Warn You...by Ben Shahn, 1942

The Sowersby Thomas Hart Benton, 1942
Artist Thomas Hart Benton believed that it was the artist`s role either to fight or to "bring the bloody actual realities of this war home to the American people." In a series of eight paintings, Benton portrayed the violence and barbarity of fascism. "The Sowers" shows the enemy as bulky, brutish monsters tossing human skulls onto the ground

3-He’s Watching You!
•Concerns about national security intensify in wartime. During World War II, the Government alerted citizens to the presence of enemy spies and saboteurs lurking just below the surface of American society. "Careless talk" posters warned people that small snippets of information regarding troop movements or other logistical details would be useful to the enemy. Well-meaning citizens could easily compromise national security and soldiers` safety with
careless talk .

Wanted! For Murder !by Victor Keppler , 1944

4 -He Knew the meaning of Sacrifice!
To guard against complacency, the Government promoted messages that reminded civilian America of the suffering and sacrifices that were being made by its Armed Forces
overseas .

5 -Stamp ‘Em Out !! The Government tried to identify the most effective poster style. One government-commissioned study concluded that the best posters were those that made a direct , emotional appeal and presented realistic pictures in photographic detail. The study found that symbolic or humorous posters attracted less attention, made a less favorable impression, and did not inspire enthusiasm. Nevertheless, many symbolic and humorous posters were judged to be outstanding in national poster competitions during the war.
