Poster propaganda is one of the most enduring legacies of the
Second World War. Dictatorships and democracies used posters to
influence public opinion, but was there anything unique about
German, American, British and Soviet posters? Conversely, did these
countries share any propaganda techniques, despite their vast
differences in governemnt, social structure and economic systems?
This study analyzes and compares home front poster propaganda of
these four nations, looking for broad, significant themes and
trends, and arguing that while each nation held to certain
propaganda fundamentals, their were indeed peculiar aspects of each
society that gave its respective propaganda a unique flavor.
Additionally, the analysis reveals a clear link between propaganda
posters and the fortunes of war. In other words, what was said was
not always as important as how it was said. Posters may have
disappeared as a major propaganda tool, but nations still fight
wars and carry out propaganda campaigns to support the war effort,
therefore, the relationship between propaganda and war is equally
applicable today.
