The Propaganda Goes to War.
The entry of the United States into the Second World War had immediate and enormous consequences, with a total mobilization of the state apparatus, private industry, and the whole population’s involvement.
With an executive order, President Roosevelt created the War Production Board (WPB) to convert peacetime industrial production to meet the needs of the war, along with setting priorities and prohibiting the manufacture of non-essential goods. The WPB created a vast propaganda apparatus promoting public interest campaigns, including invitations to enlist, the purchase of war bonds, and the rationing of all items necessary for the war.
For their part, private companies created “The War Advertising Council.” Advertisements were almost entirely war-related, regardless of whether the products were directly related to war production.
The advertising campaigns reflected the government vision that saw war as the struggle between good and evil. The enemies, and especially “The Three Dictators,” were painted in a gruesome or even sub-human way.
The Philco Radio Corporation, from 1942 to 1944 published a series of 67 advertisements drawn by some of the leading editorial cartoonists of the day which used satirical depictions of Axis leaders as objects of ridicule. A strong emphasis was given to the importance of industrial production as a weapon to defeat the enemy.
