This is political and social propaganda at its worst and can only be compared to those examples produced under Nazi Germany, i.e. shamelessly using children to illicit a purely emotional response from the viewer. Most disturbingly, with the photograph of the two men, this type of homoerotic iconography also has its roots in Nazi Germany: which perfected the use of sexualized male bonding as a brain-washing tool. In gay culture, there is a direct line of descent adopting Nazi imagery through Tom of Finland down to modern advertising.
