US propaganda
War is accompanied by enmity, And hatred stimulated by state
propaganda from both sides. Behold how America portraits
Germany, Italy and Japan.
‘Buy victory bonds’, 1942-1945.

There are multiple propaganda tricks hidden in this poster:
The scary spider-like hands that symbolize Germany and
Japan. Those spiders want to steal the women and baby.
Japan is reaching closer than Germany: this refers to Japan
who already bombed the USA at that moment (Hawaii) and
Germany not yet.The white women and her baby
symbolize the innocense of the USA. Last but not least
provokes this poster the male instincts to protect women
and child in a very racist way.
