Blog #7

Find images of at least three of the following:

WW2 propaganda
WW2 war photography
The "homefront" during WW2 (America)
The Allied powers
The Axis powers
More?


For each image, post the following:

1. The image itself (not a link to it!)
2. The historical info: date, people, photographer, artist, names, etc. The "true story" of the image.
3. What the image tells you—your reaction.



1941-1945 Office for Emergency Management. Office of War Information. Domestic Operations Branch. Bureau of Special Services. 
America vs. Germany and Japan. 
This piece of propaganda is used to tell Americans to keep production going because the German and Japanese "monsters" stop at nothing so the Americans should keep working hard. The poster says that this is Americas war so Americans will keep working and feel more inspired to.






















1943 Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston   Churchill (Soviet Union, United States, and United Kingdom) at the Tehran Conference in Tehran, Iran. It was the first World War 2 meeting and they were discussing the European theater. They later made the plan of the strategy to fight the war against Nazi Germany.  
















1938 Propaganda during the Shōwa period of the axis power leaders Adolf Hitler, Fumimaro Konoe, and Benito Mussolini (Germany, Japan, and Italy). This was made by the government of imperial Japan. It is children waving flags from the axis countries to show support. This was propaganda to get others to support the axis powers because who wouldn't do what the little kids thought was okay.
