A Cheat Sheet for World War II.

Know the United Nations - Their Flags, Capitals, Populations, lithographed in the U.S.A., is a 1944 publication designed by M.E. Nick Bush and copyrighted by the Greyhound Corp. This infographic methodically documents the members of the "United Nations" during World War II, detailing their flags, capitals, and populations. Additionally, it provides specific entry dates for nations' participation in the war, painting a straightforward portrait of the wartime geopolitical landscape.

World War II necessitated a broad coalition of countries coming together under the "United Nations" umbrella to oppose the Axis powers. This folder offers a snapshot of these countries, including some, like France, whose relationship with the conflict was multifaceted. The presented data—spanning population counts, geographical extents, and war participation dates—offers a valuable understanding of the diverse nations that made up this coalition.

The publication also highlights Greyhound Corp.'s role in the war effort, emphasizing its transportation services across America. On the sheet's reverse, an infographic labeled "Know Your Navy" and "Know Your Army" provides a concise overview of the various insignias and symbols associated with the U.S. military, a testament to the period's emphasis on familiarizing the public with the armed forces' structures.
