Canadian Wartime Propaganda

Second World War Propaganda Poster

Get Your Teeth Into the Job

This poster relies on humour to get across the message that hard work will ensure victory. Hitler is caught up a tree while a beaver, emblematic of Canada, cuts it down. Demeaning caricatures and cartoon images of enemy leaders were standard features of all sides' propaganda efforts.
