Czechoslovakia Will Live Again, 1942 Czechoslovakia poster: A hand holds a Czechoslovak flag across the word 'APPEASEMENT'

Czechoslovakia Will Live Again

A hand holds a Czechoslovak flag across the word 'APPEASEMENT' on a black ground, crossed out with a red X, above an orange globe and the words 'Czechoslovakia will live again'. The tell for name-calling is the single label 'appeasement' struck through, applied to the policy of the Munich settlement; the tell for transfer is the national flag set over the globe.
