OSP script: Second Front, 1944
Between 1941 and 1944, the main aim of the Communist Party was to urge the government to open a Second Front in Europe against Hitler. In the top poster, Hitler is shown swivelling between the advancing smiling Russian soldier on the right and the similarly jovial British soldier on the left.
