Each strike of the hammer is a hit on the enemy! 1941

This World War II Soviet poster is titled “Each strike of the hammer is a hit on the enemy!” («Каждый удар молота – удар по врагу!»). It was created in 1941 by artists Viktor Deni and N. Dolgorukov. The poster shows a strong Soviet worker striking an anvil with a hammer, sending shells flying toward a caricatured Nazi soldier. The vivid red color of the worker symbolizes strength, courage, and the unity of labor with the front line. The image powerfully conveys that every worker’s effort contributes to defeating the enemy. This poster served as an inspiring call to increase industrial productivity and support the war effort during the Great Patriotic War
