Few wartime posters promise audiences combat footage as plainly as this 1943 Government Printing Office piece, which advertises an official War Department film "packed with actual combat scenes" and reserves its first showing for war workers. That targeted audience sets it apart: the film was pitched not to the general moviegoer but to the men and women on factory floors whose output supported the front. By 1943, the federal government was using film, posters and the press to explain the war effort and keep production steady, and this poster shows how directly that message was aimed at the home front.
