So my blogs WERE suppose to be about propaganda artwork and how it impacts a generation and culture. This piece of artwork comes from the American printing press and takes jab at our good ol' pal, Adolf Hitler. The poster depicts Hitler with his pants down revealing his swastika covered boxers and beneath him lay tons of bombed Panzer tankers. This poster shows how art can be used to boost the morale of a country. It took aim at the German army and gave the American army hope that if they kept on fighting that they would find Germany's weak spot and eventually win the war. Most propaganda art can be misleading but this one is kind of inspiring and based on how WWII played out, I guess the Allies did find Hitler and his army with their panzers down.
