Top Text Title: Top Text: You have chosen to be the editor of a popular British daily newspaper during WWII. For the British, WWII brought the first attack on their soil for almost two centuries. The reaction to the attack by British citizens was not unlike the reaction of American citizens after the catastrophic events of 9/11/01. Nazi Germany's dictator Adolph Hitler had a plan called "Operation Sea Lion", the aim of which was not to conquer Britain, but rather to take away the ability to fight from the British. Britains everywhere around you are terrified. Every night the German Luftwaffe (equivalent of the American Air Force) bomb British cities, while Britains huddle in masses underground. The people are demoralized. They want the war to end. Some seek appeasement with Hitler. Others believe Britain has no business trying to protect other countries from Hitler at the expense of its own citizens. Your boss has hired you to find an image of Propaganda against the Germans which will raise the spirits of the people, make them feel anger towards the Germans and therefore strengthen the will of the people to fight on. You must choose the best image you can find to demonize the enemy and/or imply that the British cause in the war is a righteous one. Your boss (the chief editor of the newspaper) tells you that your job depends on this assignment! He says you must take it seriously and make your decision only after long deliberation and reflection on the effects of your choice!! Below is a list of links that provide Propaganda for Britain during WWII. Some include propaganda for other countries as well. But each of them will give you supportive images and information for the role you've chosen. Good luck! The morale of your country is at stake! Links Section Title:
