Under the title "Destroy this mad brute – Enlist", this poster of the US army depicts a gorilla with its eyes and mouth wide open. In its left arm, it is holding a half-naked woman, and in its right arm, it is carrying a bloodied cudgel, on which the word "Kultur" can be read. Its Prussian Pickelhaube helmet has the word "Militarism" printed on it. It is stamping menacingly on American soil.
