Original Items. Only One Lot of Three Available. This is a lovely lot of three U.S. WWII posters from the U.S. Army’s “Camouflage Blinds the Enemy” series, which encouraged soldiers to spend time on their camouflage tactics for use in the field. All three posters measure roughly 13½ x 20”, but it appears someone folded down some of the edges to get it to fit in a smaller frame, and the side’s edge has heavy material loss from the folded pieces coming off.

The first poster depicts two soldiers lying in a field, one with camouflage paint and one without. This is to instruct soldiers to camouflage their faces, hands, field gear, and boots to match their colors. The caption reads TONE DOWN HANDS, FACE AND EQUIPMENT. Reflections attract the enemy.. This example has heavy loss on the left and top sides due to the folding.

The second poster depicts a German bomber over a camouflage net that was not properly garnished, so they were able to spot them and drop bombs. Camouflage nets should be entirely garnished so that they appear as brush. The poster reads NETS MUST BE PROPERLY GARNISHED TO GIVE CONCEALMENT. The poster has loss on the left side from folding and also has staining as shown.

The third poster shows an American soldier falling in battle from standing up while his friend remains prone, with a target behind his body. The caption reads HUG THE GROUND AND LIVE LONGER. The top and right side of the poster have heavy damage and loss from the folding. There is also heavy staining on this one as well.

A lovely lot of posters, ready to frame and display.
