Description
Depicts United States infantry soldier preventing a German from killing a woman and her child. The U.S. soldier's left hand is resting on a rifle that is pointing down to the ground. His right arm is placed across the neck of the German, who is looming over the vulnerable figures. The woman, squatting on the ground, is looking up the soldiers. One arm is curled protectively around her naked child. Small touches of pink highlight the skin on the figures, who are otherwise drawn monochromatically. They are placed against a yellow and orange hued background. Flames rise from the ground behind them. The title, 'Halt the Hun', runs across the top of the poster, and is printed in orange ink.
