As many people know, Hitler was one of the main dictators of WWII. He had this hunger for power and such distinctiveness in his voice during speeches, that it was impossible during the time of war to not know about him. This first image shows Hitler shouting, as if he's giving one of his speeches. His body is transparent, one is able to see his ribs and spine, with a strap that seems to be part of a military uniform going diagonally down his chest, and a swastika symbol on his chest as well. There are coins piled up in the bottom of his stomach. I think all of this symbolizes a great deal about him; he basically lived on being a dictator, meaning he was obsessed with power and would do anything to be at the top. He wanted all Jews eliminated, and that's the reason for the swastika. The coins represent the fact that Hitler was aware of the Jews' power to get money, since they were and still are known for their intelligence (stereotypically). This is one of the genuine reasons he hated them so much.
The 2nd picture honestly brought tears to my eyes. I hate the thought of so many women having their husbands leave them and their families during an already suffering period of time in history. It was a tough time for women overall; not only husbands, they lost brothers, sons, fathers, etc.
The 3rd picture is not exactly a form of propaganda, but more of a way to show the civilians of America that, in war, they are becoming "mightier." Basically what I'm trying to say is that at that point,what many wanted was just to eliminate the opposing side in the fight, and many would just throw aside the fact that millions of innocent lives would be lost. The important thing was to get stronger military-wise, and I find that simply sad.
