I like this one because it's Norwegian and has some great visual effects :D

Literally meaning "A Swedish tiger", this is probably the most renown image we have from that era. In swedish, "Tiger" means both the large, orange animal and to keeping quiet. As such, it can also be translated into "A swede keeps quiet".

Roughly translated:

"The Enemy Sees Your Light!"
"Make it dark!"

This poster has the makings of badass. Excellently drawn skeleton with an old fashion fuse bomb riding cowboy on a british bomber and some brutal looking 'white paint' text. Dunno. Has to be my favorite.

Also like the "Panzer! Deine Waffen!" one. Magnificent early war tanker uniform. I think this one was in CoD1 or CoD2 which was the first place I saw it.

Panzerkämpfwagen = Armored Fighting Vehicle
Panzerabwehrkanone = Pak = Anti-Tank Gun
Panzer = Armor = Tank

I put down Armor, since there's a reconnaisance vehicle pictured. So I think we're both right.
