World War II propaganda poster.
Poster Details
Title: Munition Workers of Allied Countries: Are Hitting Back at Hitler... Through British Factories!
Publisher: United Kingdom
Publication Date: Circa 1940
Purpose: The poster was created to raise morale and emphasize the vital contribution of industrial workers on the home front in supporting the war effort. It highlights that production in British factories, driven by workers from various Allied countries, directly translates to military action against the enemy.
Imagery: The artwork uses a split-panel design to link factory output with battlefield results. The top panels show military hardware—aircraft, tanks, and trucks—destroying enemy targets, while the bottom panels show these same items being mass-produced in busy factories.
Flags: The flags of various Allied nations (including the UK, Norway, Czechoslovakia, and others) are displayed across the top and center bands of the poster to symbolize a united effort. |
