After which, he would have the United States cornered without a fight! …” Prepared for Army Orientation Course, M.S.D. By Army Information Branch, M.S.D., A.S.F. 205 E 42nd Street, New York 17, N.Y. Newmap Volume II No 458 Ideal for museum acquisition, this poster exemplifies mid-20th-century wartime graphic design and anti-fascist messaging, offering profound educational value for exhibits on WWII propaganda, U.S. military history, or the ideological roots of the conflict.
