Marks and inscriptions
Beware of deadly new enemies! Wishful thinking the war is just about over. Unfounded rumors war production will stop soon. Groundless fears peace will mean a depression. Over-confidence or over-anxiety slows down production and helps Hiro-Hitler add to our casualty lists! We've all got to exterminate Peace-Jitters
