Germany at War - WWII

{NAZI PROPAGANDA POSTER}



Propaganda- information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause. Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. At its root, the denotation of propaganda is 'to propagate (actively spread) a philosophy or point of view'. The most common use of the term (historically) is in political contexts; in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments or political groups.

The poster illustrated shows Germany in the fight of World War 2. Hitler was to invade England but after that plan fell through he decided to invade and conquer the Soviet Union. The poster depicts to me that Germany was trying to conquered Great Britain by the symbol of the cross with W. Churchill on it. The Iron in the picture shows that Germany is now shifting the attention to the East and Joseph Stalin. They were ready to attack in full force. The Crib in this propanda poster illustrates security for th German people and the Land meant prosperity of Germany and he Living Space the people would be proided. The factory pobably means that the Germans were buliding weapons and were ready to attack with full blow at anytime.

This propaganda poster basically is trying to say that Germany is superior to all other nations. It has prosperity, security and resources.
