Propaganda During WWII


The "Man the Guns" poster is tryign to convince men to join the navy. The man with the larger bullet it obviously a sailor in the navy, you can tell this by white hat he is wearing. The poster was intended to get young men to sign up for the navy. The phrase "Man the Guns" means that fighting is going on and men are needed. This poster hopes that the audience will join the navy and fight for there country. Most of the fighting for the navy was going on in the Pacific against the Japanese, and they desperatly needed men, ships, and supplies. I believe this poster is very persuasive. It tells men that the their help is greatly needed in the navy.
