Description
TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE (1942)
Original General Electric WWII Propaganda Poster
This exceptional 1942 General Electric poster represents a pivotal moment in WWII American propaganda. The dramatic imagery of a soldier clinging to survival in open water served as a powerful reminder of the stakes involved—both militarily and morally. By emphasizing that military response had been “too little and too late,” the poster aimed to galvanize American civilians and industrial capacity to prevent future defeats.
General Electric’s involvement in this campaign reflected the role of American corporations in supporting the war effort through both manufacturing and messaging. This poster is a rare surviving example of corporate patriotic marketing during WWII.
