# Greetings to the Soviet Heroes, Together We Shall Conquer (Russian-language poster)

A Soviet tank crewman with a red-star helmet fires beside a muscular British soldier in a helmet bearing a Union flag, with aircraft and factories behind, under the Russian line 'Greetings to the Soviet heroes. Together we shall conquer'. The tells are the paired helmets and figures merged into one battle scene (transfer, identity fusion) and the shared 'we' of the slogan.
