    A bloody hand print is used to signify the mark of Germany. The poster used the symbol as a tool to raise money for the American war effort through the sale Liberty Bonds.
    The term "Hun" was used during both World War I and World War II as a derogatory word for a German solider. It is a reference to the nomadic culture of Eastern Europe and Central Asia who achieved military success under their leader "Attila the Hun" during the 5th Century A.D.
