# Put More Punch into Production

A bare arm in a red sleeve is shown punching a caricatured Hitler-like figure in a swastika armband, whose cap flies off amid stars and impact lines, beneath the slogan 'Put more punch into production'. The tell is the caricature of the enemy leader as the target, which frames factory output as a blow struck against him.
