Scholars may wonder how something as refined as art could have led a country through a war as gruesome as the Second World War. The art itself may not be the most physically powerful tool for war, but the strategic use of it proved to be the most influential. The artists used their work in the form of propaganda; the use of art to influence and motivate viewers. Propaganda came in many forms during this era, and each had its own way of affecting different viewers. Movies, short films, billboards, music, and radio programs. All different forms of art were powerful, but the most powerful form came from the poster campaigns.
