# Produce for Victory!

Colour photographic poster from a commercial publisher: three uniformed Chinese soldiers in caps, one in close-up, above a quotation in their voice about five years of fighting 'with our bare hands' and asking for American planes, tanks and guns. The slogan 'Produce for Victory!' closes the sheet. The quotation speaks for the soldiers (testimonial) and uses the wartime derogatory term 'Japs' for the enemy (name-calling).
