Poster relating to the Soviet front
Tres jóvenes soviéticos —un hombre y dos mujeres— se preparan para entablar combate en esta estampa de O’Higgins, un miembro estadounidense del TGP. El texto anuncia que la primera línea de defensa —el frente soviético, más conocido como «frente oriental»— debe sostenerse. A finales de junio de 1941, la coalición militar liderada por las fuerzas nazis inició su avance en la Unión Soviética. El ochenta por ciento de todos los combates de la Segunda Guerra Mundial tuvieron lugar en el frente soviético y causaron aproximadamente treinta millones de muertes.
