    Warspot editorial
    01 May '20

    Mexico initially had no reasons to participate in World War II. However, it was finally involved in warfare because of its powerful northern neighbour and surprise German attacks on Mexican ships. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, Japan and Italy and entered into the war on the side of the Allies on 1 July 1942. Mexican aircraft pilots and sailors participated in warfare directly. In this article, you can see the most famous Mexican posters of the Second World War:

    ​The left poster is stylized similarly to ones of World War I . The sentence “Mexico por la Libertad!” is translated as “Mexico for freedom!”  The poster on the right side informs that Mexico had made the right choice. The slogan «En sus Puestos» can be literally translated as “In the right place” - Highlights for Warspot: Mexico at war | Warspot.net

    ​The left poster informs that the freedom did not die in the marine disaster. There are always helping hands for it. The right poster is totally different and depicts the traditional Mexican who is just about to kick the arses of the Nazis - Highlights for Warspot: Mexico at war | Warspot.net

    ​The left poster calls on us to remember 13th May 1942, the day when the Mexican tanker Potrero del Llano was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Florida. In the right poster, the slogans in two languages insist that all Americans should fight for victory and freedom - Highlights for Warspot: Mexico at war | Warspot.net

    ​On the left, we can see the sinking tanker again followed by the slogan «El Grito de Guerra» which can be translated as “Call of war”. The right picture calls to protect Mexico - Highlights for Warspot: Mexico at war | Warspot.net
