Overt message: Eating less bread will lead to victory in World War II.
Covert message: Fulfilling one's domestic duties is patriotic.
The overt message in this propaganda is promoting the idea of eating less bread while the covert message suggests using domestic skills to cook other things in place of bread. The covert message in this case tells what needs to be done while the covert message explains how a woman should go about doing it. This goes to show that this is propaganda because the hidden purpose explains more than the obvious idea being advertised.
