Vintage War Propaganda Posters
Sometimes memorabilia can transport you to the times even though you have not lived through them and that was the feeling I had when I was researching these posters. I can now appreciate why certain people like to collect Vintage propaganda posters. 
This American World War 2 Propaganda poster makes a big contrast with the Soviet Union simply because it is based on Values l rather than in one man like Stalin below. 
Well this begs a question did Stalin want to be loved or feared, a bit of both?

This free educational poster is so heart warming, just because it tries to reassuare mothers left behind with children.
This is a recent parody of the propaganda poster, it is a good one. 
You really get to appreciate the different propaganda methods and advertising techniques employed at the time.
Winston Churchill really liked his role as a motivator during War time,
This a cool piece of Cold War propaganda , even if you do not know the language you get the message.
In Case you did or know. 
This Educational poster has a serious message but it can it risks giving nightmares to housewives.

This is a British motivational advert, it really conveys how imortant Britain attached to the USA entering the War on their side.
This is another satirical recent reworking of the propaganda poster.
If you know the full story of Joe Loius this is a saddening post because the internal Revenue Service came after him saying he did not pay taxes for a troops fund raiser. 
The rudest little poster, I guess it was there to as a demotivator poster. 
Charming, but this how advertising is used to shape public opinion and prepare for wars. 
In case you did not know?
Children in Britain were sent to the countryside during the war.

At least the considered the pigs, a clever edutional poster. ![]()

I read this entire post on my Blackberry. It was that interesting!
Lame. Your bias is showing; you give as much credence to the parody posters as you do the historical ones. As for the "cool" CPLA poster I notice that Taiwan is equated with Nazis and Imperial Japan; yes, I know it's propaganda, but don't be so impressed by pretty colours.r nr nOh yeah; where are the "losers" posters? You think Homeland Security is heavy handed …r nr nOh, and fire your editor; too many obvious typos.r nr nGet out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.
Great collections and highly informative.

Hey, now, Michael. I'll admit I don't agree with a lot of the posters either (that first one fails to acknowledge quite a few points of embarrassment in American history). But, from an artistic and psychological standpoint, it was fascinating and highly educational.r nr nBravo!
nice collection – but the `parodies' don't belong here. r nr nThe `help me kill terrorists…' is in fact just a propaganda poster posting as `parody'
@Teasatips thank you.r nr n@ Michael this is not really a political blog. But do you know that Osama Bin Laden is dead, according to former Prime minister of Pakistan? You can look forever for a dead man.r nr nTruth is the first casualty of war.
Michael doesn't know crap from Shinola. If the guy has a serious point he doesn't know how to make it. r nr nWhaddya expect from someone who can't figure out the difference between the sado/national/fascist/ post-war Taiwanese government, the Stalinist Soviet Union and pre-war Imperial Japan. I guess when you live in the kitchen sink anything makes sense…r nr nYou're fired fella.
@Robwerval This a stress free zone, we do not do politics.
Oh, this is a political free zone huh? Awwwww, pwolitics are a wittle bwit too wealistic for you are they? Diddums. This is a terribly orchestrated post. The idiot can barely spell and has a faltering grasp upon the meaning of propaganda. It served a very necessary purpose at the time, whether immoral or not. So you think that the apathy people of today would have won a World War in the face of adversity? These are relics of a time when people were all to willing to sacrifice what they had without 24 hour news coverage or daily kill counts. Stop trying to belittle what it means, and just respect the fact that your parents/grandparents had the balls and the gall to die for something bigger than their egos. Pricks.
@admin: Then don't make it political by sticking in left-wing'd parodies. r nr nVintage means old. Parodies of old propaganda posters over the current conflict don't make the grade.r nr nAside from that and the glaring spelling and grammar errors, this might actually get to be a good blog post…maybe.

Really interesting post u have here. It'd be really cool to read more concerning such theme. Thanx for posting that material.
I remember my mother having a copy of the 'I Wish I Were A Man 'Navy poster. It kinda resembles her.r nI like the parodies but think that they should have been part of a different post.
Last post edit;r nr nfuck-offr nr nThere. Fixed
Michael probably thinks building 7 was hit by a plane. Derp. Thanks for sharing, admin.
My name is Lindsay Moore and I am currently a grade twelve student in Calgary, Alberta. For one of our International Baccalaureate projects this year my group must create a documentary about the Iron Curtain and liberalism. I was wondering if my group could use some of the information and the photos on your website for our documentary. If yes, please contact me by email as soon as possible! r nThank you for your time!
