EDITORS COMMENTS
This Is The Year!: A Stirring Call to Action from the Heart of World War II In the midst of the tumultuous and pivotal year of 1944, the fires of World War II continued to rage across the globe. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the indomitable spirit of the Allied forces shone through in this powerful and evocative WWII poster, titled "This Is The Year!" Created by renowned British artist Clive Upton in 1944, this color photolithograph is a testament to the unyielding determination and resolve of the Allied forces during the height of the conflict. The image depicts a dynamic and action-packed scene, with the foreground dominated by a formidable fleet of warships and naval vessels, their powerful guns trained on the horizon. The sea is churning with whitecaps, reflecting the intensity and energy of the battle raging above. Above the tumultuous waters, the sky is filled with the trails of fighter planes, their silhouettes stark against the fiery orange and red hues of the sunset. The sun itself seems to be setting on the war, casting long shadows over the scene and imbuing it with a sense of both hope and urgency. The title of the poster, boldly emblazoned across the top, serves as a rallying cry to the men and women of the Allied forces: "This Is The Year!" The words underscore the belief that the tide of the war was turning in their favor, and that the outcome of the conflict was within their grasp. As the year 1944 marked a turning point in the war, with significant victories in Europe and the Pacific, this powerful and evocative poster stands as a poignant reminder of the courage, resilience, and determination of the Allied forces during the darkest days of World War II.
