Halfsheet Soviet World War II propaganda poster is titled
"Death to the German occupiers!". It was created in 1942 by artists Boris Efimov and Nikolai Dolgorukov.
Poster Details and Message
Imagery: The poster features a large Soviet tank, marked with a red star and the hammer-and-sickle insignia, crushing caricatured figures of terrified Nazi leaders and soldiers under its tracks.
Text:
The main slogan at the bottom reads "Death to the German occupiers!".
A red banner at the top, held by a Soviet soldier emerging from the tank, proclaims "Forward! To the West!".
Purpose: The poster was designed during a time when Nazi Germany was still advancing into the USSR. It uses bold imagery and satire to inspire Soviet citizens and soldiers, portray the enemy as cowardly, and call for a counteroffensive push toward Germany. |
