Les Fabriques de la Grande-Bretagne Rendent à Plein - Ici on Accélère la Construction des Tanks
A high-angle photograph shows rows of tank hulls in various stages of assembly down a long factory hall, with workers at each, and a one-line French caption. The tell for card-stacking is the claim that British factories are at full output, supported only by one favourable view with no production figures, dates or comparison.
