This poster was produced by the United States War Production Board in 1942. It is especially striking with the image of the proud welder, representing all workers, standing in front of the 48-star American Flag.

The statement "Free Labor Will Win" is intended as a reminder that the Fascist enemies were using slave labor from all the occupied countries in their war effort.
