For good or ill, the most powerful tool to control society available to governments is propaganda. Irrelevant of the times, in peace or in the midst of war, we are bombarded by it.
Through persistent repetition, media drivel, indoctrination rebranded as education and through centrally coordinated subtle messaging through entertainment, centralized power is able to control society. Exposure to propaganda is inescapable, it has been for decades. 
"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself." "A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.""The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."

- Joseph Goebbels
Most propaganda, in retrospect, becomes obvious. The importance of much of it comes to light through historical revisionism, especially when analyzed in chronological order. 
For example, in this comic book haul video, #126, I purchased Boy Comics #17 published in 1944. It features a beautiful and powerful battle field American flag cover by Charles Biro. The young hero, dressed in red white and blue carrying an oversized American flag, with his monkey sidekick pounding the drums of war, charge into the fray. With explosions in the background, tanks and aircraft participating in the charge, it portrays a powerful patriotic image for the times. 
The significance of the date of release of this comic book and its messaging is incredibly important. The cover date of this book is August 1994, however, for most periodicals, the cover date is usually two to three months after the release date. The release date for Boy Comics #17 was May 5th, 1944, placing it almost exactly one month before the Normandy Landings on June 6th, 1944, which are recognized as the most important D-Day in history [See below for resources].
"Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor" - War Pigs, Black Sabbath"Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancin' in the desert, blowin' up the sunshine... Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" - B.Y.O.B., System of a Down

To me as a collector of human artifacts, this comic book is what is referred to as a personal Holy Grail. It is a comic book that I have been trying to add to my collection for a few years. It is my favorite American Flag comic book cover. Suffice it to say, I am extremely happy with this purchase.
