This is probably the most famous French WW1 poster (at least, it's the only one I remember ever seeing before):

You're right about the scarcity of Japanese posters, but I'm sure I've seen something before, maybe a little earlier (from the Russo-Japanese war). I'll have a look around.

Those postcards you linked to - from appearances they seem to be French satires on the different countries. The Greek one even has a French pun (Hellas - Hélas) in the text!

Will this do for Japan?

Would I be right in saying that the navy folk in the Japanese poster are from the RN?

StephenT · Jun 4, 2003

The guy with the big bushy beard doesn't look very Japanese, does he? But no, I think they are supposed to be Japanese - maybe even Admiral Togo and the crew of the Mikasa at Tsushima.

The Imperial Japanese Navy in this period was a virtual carbon copy of the Royal Navy (the ships were built in Britain, the officers trained in Britain, the English language used for technical expressions and phrases, etc) so presumably the uniforms looked the same too.

(Of course, somebody who reads Japanese will now prove me wrong by translating the characters at the bottom as "Our honourable British friends rejoice at our great victory" or some such

)

Yeah I wasn't sure on some of those postcards, I didn't realize they were French though.

Also have had trouble with Chinese and Bulgarian ones.

that danish poster...

Is that actually a danish propaganda poster? Just wondering because the text isn't even in danish. I'm danish and didn't even understand it until I read the english translation.

I can read Chinese characters so as those written on that Japanese "poster"
Actually thats a picture book about Russo-Japanese war, the four big words on the this cover was "Pictures of Conquering Russia", and those tiny words at the bottom said that it was an addition to a magazine which published by a company, which i dont know their english names, neither the magazine nor the publisher.
By the way, is there anything i can help for China's leaders in the mod?

If you have a list of Chinese leaders post them in the Leaders thread. Even if the efforts are duplicated, help is always appreciated, it serves to double check the stuff we got. However I do not recall there being any Chinese leaders given so far.

About the Danish posters, I screwed up on those and the other ones that I thought were "a bit mocking".

That link looks to be American and British posters only, and unfortunetly it seems that those two ones were the only ones already decided on.

...that one....or this one maybe???

unmerged(16020) · Jul 6, 2003

Those both look excellent but one written for the Serbs (in Serbian) would work better. Normal HoI has some posters written in English as well so those still would work.

Aha, one for Portugal.

A propaganda poster, known as "The Kiss", which was published by Ilustração Portugueza in 1917. The picture shows a soldier kissing his sweetheart goodbye as he makes his way to France.
