So, so, so off the point. This film/book is in no way "pure war propaganda". However, among the several "themes" or ideas in the story: patriotism, war, hunger, family, propaganda plays a huge role. Everywhere in the book you read of propaganda being used via several different means...

Blast from the past, Popular Science Magazine takes on the issue of hoarding with a little editorial story featuring two men debating the social good and intelligence of hoarders. As the story starts out, you think there will be a fair debate as one man clearly thinks hoarding is "unpatriotic"...
