This poster was printed in response to the Soviet counteroffensive against German positions in the Battle of Kursk, July 4-20, 1943.
This poster was printed in handbill sized prints for posting along the Soviet attack routes.
The print shows a Soviet soldier knocking a German sign that reads "To the East!," from a post. The Caption at the bottom and title of the print reads: "To the West!" in Russian.
The Soviets fought a bitter battle for the city of Kursk against German forces, who invaded the Soviet Union in 1940.
The Batle of Kursk involved what remains, the largest armored engagement in history.
