The poster issues an invitation to attend a great march celebrating the Allied victory at the end of World War II. Bombs marked as British, American, and Soviet rain down upon the Nazis, people escape the rubble, and a couple confidently marches away from the past horror toward a promising future.



El cartel invita a los espectadores asistir a una gran manifestación en celebración de la victoria aliada al término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Varias bombas identificadas como británicas, norteamericanas y soviéticas caen sobre los nazis, algunas personas escapan de los escombros y una pareja se aleja con paso firme del horror del pasado hacia un futuro prometedor.
