A Guerra Ilustrada: Notícias das Américas [The War Illustrated: News of the Americas]
A photo-montage news sheet in Portuguese shows five U.S. military scenes: tanks in the desert, the battleship Iowa on the slipway, bombers returning from raids in the Middle East, winter troops in Alaska and a depth-charge explosion. Only successes and strength are selected, with captions such as 'Depth charges mean death for the submarines' (card-stacking).
