Belanda Menjerang Indonesia Tetap Tenang

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1947 during the Dutch colonial war depicts missiles, a man and a woman holding spears, and a child waving. The accompanying text reads, “Belanda menyerang, Indonesia tetap tenang,” which means “Dutch can attack, but Indonesia will remain calm.” This message emphasizes the importance of remaining calm and not panicking amidst the attack. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)", containing reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing Indonesian and global issues.
