This Australian Second World War poster was produced by General Motors Holden (GMH) in 1941. The wholly text-based poster targets workshop workers. Specifically designed for General Motors Holden workshops, this poster aims to highlight the importance of these workers and their 'fight' in the work - in this case, producing the items required either by the nation or soldiers to further the war effort. The poster highlights that the "war will be won in the workshop" - a sentiment that would prove to be accurate in many ways, with Axis forces running very low on materials, resources, and production means by the end of the war.
During the war, GMH re-tooled many of their production facilities, producing vehicle bodies, field guns, aircraft, and engines.
