Right in Der Fuehrer's Face is a 1942 poster of the US Treasury for the Second War Loan. It tells the viewer to invest now and buy more bonds, beside a fist striking a face the FRAME record calls a caricature of Hitler.

What the sheet prints

The FRAME catalog dates the sheet 1942 and names the U.S. Treasury Department's war-bond campaign. The sheet itself prints no year, so 1942 is the catalog's date, not a printed one. The fist is labeled as the Second War Loan: "2ND WAR LOAN" is printed on it. The record says a swastika is marked on each side of the face, and it calls that face a caricature of Hitler. The footer asks the viewer to lend money.

Not a still from the short

The headline repeats a line also used as a film title. The short is a separate page, Der Fuehrer's Face (1942): Disney animated short. This poster is not a frame from that film, and the snapshot does not record a film still here. The topic page is anti-Nazi propaganda.
