This is a German "total war" propaganda poster. Paul Joseph Goebbels was appointed by Adolf Hitler to lead the war propaganda movement in Germany during World War II.
The big drawing of the man shows him rolling up his sleeve. The man is getting down to business and is about to do some tough work. He's determined and seems committed to the task ahead of him.
The propaganda poster is small so it's hard to see details, but on the bottom some men are striding purposefully. They are dressed plainly and simply, just like the man on top, to portray an earnest working man. The poster is appealing to the German people by insinuating that they should go to the war cause and be like these good, hard-working men.
