I get a big kick out of my job! ...and so will the Axis!
A smiling machinist in a cap with a V badge looks over his shoulder, with a second worker at a lathe behind him. His quoted line says he enjoys his job, and the closing line adds that the Axis will too. The worker is presented as an ordinary man pleased with war work, an appeal to production workers.
