After almost five years of brutal conflict, World War II came to an end with Germany surrendering on May 8, 1945, followed by Japan on September 2 after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This poster celebrates the victory of the Allies and the Soviet Red Army and the "total destruction of fascism." Triumph is expressed through striking imagery: a bayonet stuck in Hitler’s eye socket, chaotic surrounding debris, and rays of light in the background that suggest a new dawn. The text describes the jubilation of the artists at the TGP, the workers, and all those who fought for progress in Mexico.

It's too bad Hitler didn't get to see this overly-flattering illustration of his face skin stretched over a helmet about 30 seconds before he ate a bullet.
