A white poster with red and black banners and yellow text. A red banner with yellow text reads "Hitler's back is turned to us" whilst a black banner with white text reads "what are we waiting for?", around 1945. This poster was made sometime during WWII and is signed 'GEE', possibly made by Seymour R. Gee ('Essargee') who made a variety of posters for the Office of War Information during this time. The poster uses the colours of the German flag and implores the UK to strike against German forces whilst Hitler was occupied in the USSR. Condition: yellowed, there are rips and creases along the edges and a small hole in the centre of the poster
