The purpose of this poster is to influence people to start carpooling and saving gasoline. Hitler represents all that is evil and it is trying to get the point across that driving alone is hurting the United States Military which helps the Nazis. So if you do not support the war effort on carpooling and saving supplies. The audience intended for the propaganda poster is for people that are old enough to drive.
