The "When You Ride Alone You Ride with Hitler" poster is one of the most famous and psychologically powerful examples of American WW2 home front propaganda. Designed by artist Weimer Pursell and issued by the United States Government Printing Office as part of the wartime fuel and rubber conservation campaign, the poster urged American civilians to share car journeys and join car-sharing clubs in order to conserve vital wartime gasoline and rubber resources. The ghostly outline of Adolf Hitler in the passenger seat delivers an unforgettable visual message that driving alone was tantamount to aiding the enemy.

The Office of War Information (OWI) coordinated a vast campaign of wartime civilian propaganda posters between 1942 and 1945, covering everything from fuel and food rationing to factory production and war bond purchases, producing some of the most enduring examples of American graphic design history.
