Original World War II Era War Bond Ad Newspaper Clipping - Hitler - "Smash the Axix"
This original World War II era newspaper is in great condition and was saved by a United States civilian. This propaganda section was meant to poke fun at Germany and the soon-to-be defeated Hitler as the Allies invaded Europe. It promotes the sale and buying of war bonds as the way for the Allies to defeat the Axis powers.
War Bond:
War bonds are debt securities issued by a government to finance military operations and other expenditure in times of war. War bonds are either retail bonds marketed directly to the public or wholesale bonds traded on a stock market. Exhortations to buy war bonds are often accompanied by appeals to patriotism and conscience. Retail war bonds, like other retail bonds, tend to have a yield which is below that offered by the market and are often made available in a wide range of denominations to make them affordable for all citizens.
