Planes, tanks, money? Bullets, machine-guns and grenade launchers? Yes, all of these were important tools in the effort to win the war. But so was information. In this case, government issued information. Over the course of the war, the U.S. government waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the public. Persuading Americans to join the war effort became a wartime industry, just as important as producing bullets and planes. The U.S. government produced posters, pamphlets, newsreels, radio shows and movies - all designed to create a public that was 100% behind the war effort.In 1942, the Office of War Information (OWI) was created to both craft and disseminate the government's message. The propaganda campaign included specific goals and strategies. Artists, filmmakers and intellectuals were recruited to take the government's agenda (objectives) and turn it into a propaganda campaign. This included posters found across America - from railway stations to post offices, from schools to apartment buildings.Let's take a closer look at these propaganda posters urging Americans to enlist in the military and other civil service jobs.
