The current fascination with World War II, spurred by movies such as Saving Private Ryan and books like The Greatest Generation, stems from the revelation of the horrors and humanity of that momentous war. An often overlooked chronicle of those years and events exists in the propaganda postcards created by artists and governments of the nations involved. More than 300 postcards and incisive commentary provide a provocative glimpse into the emotional climate of the people affected by the war, whether they were on the battlefield or on the production line. Features: more than 300 cards from over 20 Axis, Allies, and Neutral nations; Historical commentary explains the story behind the cards; value ranges.

A Must Have Book For WWII Propaganda Collectors !!,
This review is from: Propaganda Postcards of World War II (Paperback)
This new (year 2000) 160 page book has more than 100 full color and 100 black and white, sharp, clear photos covering propaganda postcards from 20 countries. There's plenty of text explaining the many cards, which are grouped by: U.S., The Allies, The Axis Nations, and Neutral Nations. Valuies and a nice bibliography are provided. It offers a chronicle of the trying war years and gives a good insight into the history and actions of the times. The reader is given a provocative glimpse into the emotional climate of the people affected by the war, whether they were on the battlefield or on the production line. A great insight into the history of the times. A wonderful, fascinating addition to your library.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Propaganda Postcards of World War II (Paperback)
I purchased this hoping it would be helpful in figuring out a recent inheritance of a large collection of WWII artifacts & ephemera. It was extremely helpful in identifying some of the items I have and a rough idea of what they may be worth.
