World War 2 Propaganda Posters – part 2

During World War 2, and for a period beyond, the Allies generated propaganda to influence the population towards support for the war effort. A wide range of media was employed aimed at local and overseas audiences. Traditional forms of media such as newspapers and posters were joined by new media, including cinema (film), newsreels, and radio. A wide range of themes were addressed, fostering hostility to towards the enemy, support for the allies, and specific pro-war projects such as conserving metal, waste, and growing vegetables.

For more information, and for earlier examples, see part 1 also.

  1. These are great. Where did you get these from?
    We have only just finished studying the impact of the press and propaganda in war, at university. It is a shame I have only just seen these.

  2. Researched on the internet. Takes a while, but they are there.
