Comment: Illustrated in "Wearing Propaganda", page 18. The caption reads "Military equipment and modes of transport form the basis for this playful propaganda design. The cartoon-like presentation of the material of war tends to obscure its battlefield use and draws the wearer and viewer into a sense of war as play."
