Produce for Victory!

A colour photographic poster of uniformed soldiers in berets standing in line with rifles, one with a POLAND shoulder patch, above a collective quotation from Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, Dutch, Danes and Greeks. Allied soldiers are quoted as speaking to American workers (testimonial) and the line 'we'll win' invites joining in (bandwagon).
