Propaganda- World War 2 1941-45

-The over message is that by eating less bread, Americans will help the troops be victorious.
-The covert message is that Americans must make large sacrifices to help ensure an Allied victory.
-The overt message suggests a specific means by which Americans can help the war effort, while the covert message asserts that sacrifice, broad in scope, is a necessary part of the world effort. The propaganda element lies therein: this poster advocates not only saving bread, but also the more nebulous and expansive concept of sacrificing for the country. Most American World War 2 propaganda seems to fulfill this function of explicitly arguing a specific step while implicitly urging a lifestyle.
