Children of the hop pickers take shelter *to watch the Battle of Britain rage overhead, 1940 This became one of the most published pictures of the war. It shows the children of hop pickers watching the aerial ‘dogfights’ of the Battle of Britain. It was used in a propaganda campaign alongside the slogan ‘Help England And It Won’t Happen Here’ which helped to convince millions of Americans to join the war against Nazi Germany. In 2009 the image was used to publicise Outbreak, the major Imperial War Museum exhibition commemorating 70 years since the start of the second world war.

Ministry of Food Posters
A new exhibition at London's Imperial War Museum (Feb 12 to Jan 3 2011) pays tribute to a nation's creativity and resourcefulness in the face of wartime – and peacetime – food rationing.
Here is some of the eye-catching British Government propaganda used on the 'Kitchen Front' during that time.

The following posters were all used during the Second World War to encourage austerity and stoicism on Britain's home front.
They form part of an exhibition at the Museum of Brands in London entitled Make Do and Mend 020 79080880; 2 Colville Mews, Lonsdale Road, Notting Hill, London W11 2AR). The exhibition runs until November 29, 2010.
