It’s worth pointing out that this had to be done as alot of yanks were of Irish decent and had grown up being told how much of a bunch of bastards the English were to the Irish.

His eyebrows were ahead of their time.
So this where the inspiration for the NCR Ranger poster in fallout NV came from
r/propagandaposters might like this.
Really liked the follow up with the fuller set, too! Thanks for posting these. Interesting to see the now/then comparisons across a really disparate group.
he didn’t even have the freedom to make that choice

Instructions unclear – bombed them anyway.
Nice Boys rifle…👍
That would account for the missing teeth trust me…🤫
Nah mate, you’re holding it the wrong way round
As he’s standing there with an anti-tank weapon. What a boss. All he needs is a fag in mouth.
Now I understand so many things 😂
My favourite of this series is the Dutch sailor who looks like a kid on school photo day who’s been caught by surprise.
I’m gonna knock some usa ones up , “this is USA they are terrorists but pretend to be good”
