1) 1941 - 1945
I see this poster as a recruitment and/or encouragement poster for all the young men that are fighting in the war or want to. It attempts to make you angry by the statistics and then it tells you what you can do about it by telling you to enlist.
2) When I first saw this piece of propaganda, I thought that it was a little ridiculous. It is portraying Hitler and all of the Japanese people as one huge horrific monster that is tearing America apart. This poster then goes on to say that any average American citizen can stop this so called monster simply by producing as much war supplies as they humanly possibly can.
3) by Henry Koerner, 1943

Printed by the Government Printing Office for the Office of War Information NARA Still Picture Branch

This poster is interesting to me because I did not know that they were asking for all American citizens to save their fats that they would have thrown away and take them to their "local meat dealer" so that they could then be used for explosives in the war.
