This poster comes from a series of foreign posters that were created during World War II by foreign information offices or war relief associations in the United States. The poster contains the Cross of Lorraine (a symbol of the French Resistance) and an image of St. Michael the Archangel (one of the patron saints of France). The text translates from French to "France has lost a battle! But France has not lost the War! To arms Citizens! Form your Battalions!"
This primary source comes from the Records of the Office of Government Reports.
