My wife and I went through her latw grandfathers house before it goes up for sale and we found this poster. Can anyone she'd some light on it? Going to frame it and put it up in my office.

It's to commemorate how we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Why is there an image of the Titanic sinking in the background?

I've never seen that one and it's not in any ww2 poster book I have.

Pretty cool

M Holsing?

I like propaganda flyers as far as collecting, the posters are great too.

That looks early, probably a freebie for buying war bonds.

It's an unnamed ship but it could be any of the number of ships sunk by the Kriegsmarine.

Yea it's a 1942 Holsing. I tried to look it up on the Google machine and found it on an auction site. Couldn't find it anywhere else

I would sit on it until 2027, that's the year when youngest ww2 vets will be turning 100 and we will be down to just a few left.
1998 saw a rise in great war merch for the same reason.

WW2 stuff has always been more valuable. but something like that i would donate to the ww2 museum.

That is a Liberty bond poster. Cool to have and it's not at all a common one.

FDR was a huge James Cameron fan.

Or you could do a 10 year loan to the Museum and retain ownership.
