OKNA-TASS poster collection 1941 December-1942 January.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/711789894

This collection contains four OKNA-TASS propaganda cartoons, each consisting of at least two individual posters and separate pieces with dates and captions, that were produced in the Soviet Union between December 1941 and January 1942. The posters are hand painted from stencils created by artists in the Moscow TASS Windows studio. Some OKNA-TASS posters in this collection are attributed to two artists--Pavel Sokolov-Skalya and S. Kostin--and some text is credited to Mikhail Shulman. The posters depict major events during the German Army's advance into the Soviet Union during the winter of 1941-42 and offer scathing portrayals of Hitler, Goebbels, and German generals.
