The Jews "Taking Over the World"  (Octopus  picture)
Description of the Propaganda 
In this poster, a large big octopus looks like it is taking over the world. The big blue octopus has a big ugly nose which would be a symbol for Jewish with big noses. The octopus's face is all ugly and ruined it looked like if it had some disease. I also noticed the ink coming out of his tentacles and spreading all over the world. It was also pretty clear the big Scar of David on top of the octopus (which is a symbol of Jews).The picture's color also made it noticeable how the only thing colored was the big octopus and its ink to make it stand out.
Message 
The message of this picture is that Jews are trying to take over the whole world. This is obvious because the octopus has all its tentacles around the world. Especially if you actually look close enough you will notice that each tentacle is dripping two squirts of ink. The poster combined the ugly features with the noticeable color of the octopus to make it look dangerous and like infectious. This is so it would get scared, angry or disgusted other people that saw it.  
Propaganda Technique #1
They used the technique of making it Big. They used it because in the picture you could right away see the big octopus and the world under it. They also made the Jewish sign big and clear enough to see. They actually were pretty smart of where to place it be case when you look at a picture you start from the top usually so right away you could see The Scar of David. They also made the big ink stand out coming out from the tentacles.
 Propaganda Technique#2
The other technique used was making it simple. They used it for example with the octopus which looked all big disgusting and harmful. They also used it with the world how it was getting full of the octopus's ink and that looked contagious. Lastly they used it with the Jewish sign just representing them really simple to figure out.
