Propaganda Research

This propaganda was from U.S in WWII when U.S was part of the Allies and Germany was part of the Axis. They were two opposing powers during the war and this propaganda is meant to humiliate Hitler by pulling his “Panzers” down. The use of propaganda is meant to manipulate large group of individual’s opinions and they are generated based on “how people’s mind works”. The style of this propaganda is the usual political cartoon style and the use of different colours, title, and information will psychologically influence one’s mind. In this one, it constructs a negative image of Hitler by the using a humiliating slogan, which helps to develop a sense of pride and unity to its targeted audience. This will build a stronger bond within U.S supporters and it will be a great advantage wining the war. Its effective use of information plus the catchy colours (combination of yellow and red) makes it a good propaganda.





This propaganda from Australia uses social psychology to target its audience again. Its purpose was to stimulate recruitment for the war so they would have more soldiers to fight in the war. When you first look at this, the word “Sympathy” comes in mind. It affects both male and female because the male would think that it is their job to fight and defend their nation, as well as helping their colleagues out to show their masculinity. The women would work harder at home too, for example, saving more food, money, and taking care of their children in order for their husband to have a better life. This propaganda is different from the first one because it didn’t use the “cartoon method”; it depicts the reality and seeks for sympathy. It didn’t use bright colours because it will not have the depressing and gloomy mood, but it did have a contrasting slogan (using black and white) to emphasize its purpose.
