In this propaganda poster, the enemy is depicted solely by his big barrel chest, Nazi uniform and sinister stubby hands. The Nazi soldier is dehumanised, depicted without a head or body. Note that colour is used sparingly to highlight the British flag, the glow of the diary's binding and the single, gruesome trickle of blood dripping down the soldier's buttons. Visually, this was designed to create a strong representation of evil in the minds of Britons. Today, we often think of wartime diaries as a source of valuable insights into the lived experience of World War II. At the time, seized diaries - particularly those belonging to Allied troops - could have leaked important and potentially dangerous information to Axis forces.
