Original U.S. WWII September War Bonds “Back The Attack” Propaganda Cardboard “Standee” - 18 ½” x 12”

Item Description

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 18 ½” x 12” cardboard standee, which still has the original stand on the back, features a very simple design with a prominent message:

“BACK THE ATTACK”

Above the “Back The Attack” footer is a blue silhouette of an American soldier laying down suppressing fire from his machine gun as an attack formation moves up from behind him, ready to assault an enemy position.

The standee is in lovely condition and is without any significant damage or color loss.

Comes more than ready for display!

War bonds (sometimes referred to as Victory bonds, particularly in propaganda) are debt securities issued by a government to finance military operations and other expenditure in times of war. They are also a means to control inflation by removing money from circulation in a stimulated wartime economy. War bonds are either retail bonds marketed directly to the public or wholesale bonds traded on a stock market. Exhortations to buy war bonds are often accompanied by appeals to patriotism and conscience. Retail war bonds, like other retail bonds, tend to have a yield which is below that offered by the market and are often made available in a wide range of denominations to make them affordable for all citizens.
