WW2 Propaganda Analysis

German Propaganda Bolschewismus ohne maske = Bolshevism without a mask
A bolshevik is a member of a communist party (Russian)
A skeleton man wearing a Russian uniform
He is holding a rifle and a machine gun
He is standing on top of the world
The world is in flames
The Jewish star and the Communism symbol are very prominent on the world
This Propaganda poster is from the Nazi party. They are trying to make a point that the Communist
USSR will destroy the world. The skeleton soldier could symbolize death, and the flames destruction.
The Jewish star and the Communism symbol together could symbolize that both the Jews and the
Communists are similar and that they are the enemy. Bolshevism without a mask. The Nazis are
portraying what they believe to be the communists' real goals.

Die fahne des sieges= The banner of victory

The background is a giant map
There is a German soldier holding a Nazi flag
He has a rifle around his neck
There is a dagger in his belt
He is marching with the flag
The flag has the Nazi symbol and the Iron Cross
The soldier is in his uniform

This is another Nazi propaganda poster. The soldier on this poster isn't holding his knife or his gun. He
is carrying a Nazi flag across a map. The soldier is marching with the flag, looking ahead of him. His
gun is falling around his neck. This poster could be portraying the victory of the Nazis.

American Propaganda We're fighting to prevent this

A giant boot with the Nazi symbol on it
The boot is spiked and has sharp spurs
It is stepping on a church
The church is being crushed
There are gray storm clouds
This propaganda poster is from the Americans. They were trying to show how the Nazi's would destroy
people's beliefs and religions. The Giant Nazi boot is covered with spikes on the bottom, which could
symbolize that they are cruel. The largeness of the boot could symbolize that the Nazi's are a big threat
to America.

Tokio Kid Say- good material waste in scrap help to saving face for Jap. Thank you
Tojo looks like a rat
He has huge fangs and pointy ears and is drooling
He has claws
He is looking at his reflection in a piece of scrap metal
The piece of metal has a 'rejected' tag on it
Tojo is holding a bloody knife behind his back
There is a Nazi symbol on his uniform
There is a container of scrap metal behind him

This American poster is about the Japanese. They are trying to get people to conserve material that
could be used by the Japanese if it is not reused. Tojo looks like a rat. He is drooling at the scrap metal
that has been rejected. He is holding a bloody knife behind his back and has the Nazi symbol on his
uniform. The Americans could be trying to symbolize that the Japanese are rats and that they benefit
from the material that we don't reuse.
