Original Item: Only One Available. Guns, tanks, and bombs were the principal weapons of World War II, but there were other, more subtle forms of warfare as well. Words, posters, and films waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the American citizenry just as surely as military weapons engaged the enemy. Persuading the American public became a wartime industry, almost as important as the manufacturing of bullets and planes. The Government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign with clearly articulated goals and strategies to galvanize public support, and it recruited some of the nation's foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers to wage the war on that front.

This World War II Propaganda poster features artwork by J. H. King (U.S. Government Printing Office, 1943). The masses greatly enjoyed this poster upon release, as it depicts Adolf H as a struggling organ grinder's monkey. John Bull, Joseph Stalin, and Chiang Kai-shek all stand amused, as Uncle Sam grinds the organ. The bottom of the poster has the caption “WE’VE MADE A MONKEY OUT OF YOU!”. An unrestored poster with good color and an overall very presentable appearance. It does have tears, slight paper loss, creases, and edge wear.

Once framed this would make for an excellent display item!
