Thunder strike 1944

"Thunder Strike" is a powerful propaganda poster created by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy in 1944. It depicts a red lightning bolt emanating from the Soviet hammer and sickle, striking down a Nazi tank and its occupants. The American and British flags are shown as part of the lightning bolt, symbolizing the Allied forces joining in the strike against the Axis powers. The poster is a stark reminder of the tumultuous World War II era and the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany.
