Excellent!
Collectors would salivate at the prospect of owning originals of these.

Uh, by the way, we still have lots of propaganda today. It's just not the good guys who are producing it.

The dark ones are my favorites:

Yeah. I just tried to find one of my favorites. It shows a pale woman dressed in flowing white, tenderly clutching an infant to her breast. They are drowned, in black water...

If you, or anyone else, is interested in collecting them let me know. I can tell you what to look for to make certain they are originals, and give you an idea of what you will pay (some aren't as expensive as you might think).

Reproductions abound for about $20-25, if you'd just like some nice "art."

BTW----It ain't propaganda if it's true!!!!

Look up the history and definition of the word propaganda - it does not automatically mean something that's false or untrue. It simply means "information" put forth to promote a purpose or cause.

Yeah, I know, it's just that "propaganda" has a certain connotation to it. It sounds rather unsavory. Maybe they should be called Patriot Posters rather than Propaganda Posters.....

Y'know, I was going to ping you and laz and pissant to #61 (and a great thread), but left it out.

Actually, "You can't beat the Axis if you get VD!" would be a great tagline.
