Propaganda and World War II: Part 1

For this part of WWII you and your comrades will go forth and find me some most excellent examples of propaganda from WWII. For each piece of visual (poster) propaganda you find you will need to answer the following things:
1. Tell me what the piece is about, what is it referencing, what is the piece trying to say?
2. What type of propaganda is it? Justify your answer.
3. You and your fellow fellowship members will place yourself in the time period and locale of the propaganda (you will become its intended audience) - rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how effective you find the piece to be at relaying its message. Of course - justify your answer.

Here is your challenge, or quest if you will, find me propaganda from the following timer periods and places:

Pre-WWII
- Pro-Germany/Nazi (2 examples)
- Anti-Germany/Nazi (2 examples)

During WWII
- Supporting the War Effort
    - Germany
    - France
    - Britain
    - United States
    - Japan
- Holocaust
    - How the US/Allies viewed this event

You and your flock of propaganda detectives will create a Google Doc, share with each other, to insert your pics of propaganda into and answer your questions over. Once you have found all of the requested materials you will share it with me.
