Ritter kreus's is on a clip board at the battle of stalingrad in call of duty

 

and whats with the japs and the aussies its not like australia is going to join them after they wer invaded jees

 

No, just sowing a little dissent between Allies...

 

But why is the only card they play the stupid suggestion that all Americans are enjoying themselves with Australian wives of soldiers at the front? Maybe this happened now and then, but surely it won't get a whole army to quit fighting against a nation that almost invaded them.

 

If you convince an Aussie that he is fighting on behalf of the Yanks, who are meanwhile back home enjoying his wife, it would take just a touch of his determination away.

Plus it reduces effective co-ordination between allied units, produces a lack of co-operation, etc etc.

This is probably the only real effective propaganda issue the Japanese could persue against the Australians. They portrayed themselves as the liberators of the Asian people from the white Imperialist aggressors, who will stop at nothing to rape SE Asia of its riches etc. How can you then convince the 'white Imperialist aggressors' to go home / stop fighting?

A force that is not united is a far far weaker force that a united one, even if it is numerically superior.

 

But of course. This can be seen from some brink-of-disastrous events during the North-West Europe campaign. But I was wondering why they focused on thi particular thing. The Germans tried several things on Allied soldiers in Europe, like the old "our common enemy is Stalin" ploy and the "Churchill/Roosevelt/De Gaulle is selling your skin" ploy. But all the Japs do is make posters of white women and their American... companions.

Help please, two questions,
No.1. What is the language below the "KATYN WOOD" poster,Russian or Polish?It seems strange that a Russian Poster should show Russians executing Polish officers.
No.2. To "DUPE", I cannot understand your comment on Monday.26th.
something about "ritterkreuz on a clipboard at Stalingrad?"
Please explain.

...and the last ones.

 

Isn't the use of colour and dramatic actions unreal in the creation of a popular cause for justice?!

Propaganda is a very powerful tool to make a war a popular and common cause to any society's behavioural acceptance.

Unpopular wars can never be concluded in a favourable light, history has proven this time and time again. I wonder what the propaganda art forms were like in conflicts predating WW I?

 

Conflicts predating WW2 were not widely known at the home front, I'd say, because before the early 20th century press and media weren't nearly as spread as they became later, as well as literacy.

 

here's another one.

It reads: "Again thesame enemy!
Fight with us!"
