Inside the Vault: World War II Propaganda

On the October 7, 2021, session of Inside the Vault, Professor Michael Neiberg from the United States Army War College and Stacie Christensen, 2020 Idaho History Teacher of the Year, joined us as we discussed World War II propaganda posters from the Gilder Lehrman Collection. We explored criteria for analyzing posters and dove into five posters:

  • Americans Will Always Fight for Liberty
  • The Atlantic Charter
  • Deadly by Autocar
  • Caricature of Hitler, three Nazi officers, and a South American man
  • She’s Ready, Too
