World War II propaganda poster, 1945

This poster urged people to work where there was need to support the war effort and depicted the sacrifices of the American soldier on his way to invade Tokyo. However, a massive ground invasion never took place. Japan surrendered in August 1945 after the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
