Archival Note Card | European Theater WW2 | #13

Soldier lunges through a tangle of flag stripes beneath a bold slogan.

This archival note card from the european theater ww2 series, no. 13, titled "over the top". It is archival paper. Government posters of the Second World War used simple, direct images and short slogans to urge civilians and soldiers toward particular actions. Portrait-format poster-style card with a dark brown ground. A man in an olive uniform strides forward, red-and-white stripes and blue stars wrapped around his arms. Large yellow letters sit at the top and bottom with a small line of text. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

Flag-waving at full tilt, no pausing for breath.
