Javelin contest (창던지기)
?Hit? the American invaders!

Anyone understand the meaning of the words on the left?
It seems like it might be previous invaders or something.

Top: Through the combined strength of the whole people,
온 민족의 단합된 힘으로
Bottom: let’s crush America’s scheme to provoke nuclear war!
미국의 핵전정도발책동을 짓부시자!

Black gentleman (검은 신사)

The division of the Korean war will only end with corpses!
조선전쟁에서 차례질것은 오직시체와 종말뿐!

Don’t forget the American imperialist wolves!

American imperialists, look closely at our country’s power!
미제는 조선의 국력을 똑바로 보라!

<Oplan 5027 = South Korea and USA’s plan if North Korea invades>
There’s nowhere to hide
이행성우에 미할자리가 더는 없다

We’ll judge our mortal enemy, the American imperialists who deserve to die, until the very end!
불구대천의 원쑤 미제와 끝까지 결판을 낼것이다!

Get rid of the enemy with no mercy! (적들을 일층무자비하게 소탕하라!)

We’ll judge the people who mess with our pride wherever they are!
우리의 자존심을 건드리는 자 어디에 있든 결판을 낼것이다!

Let’s expel the American imperialists and unite Korea!
미제를 몰아내고 조국을 통일하자!

Military Demarcation Line (군사분계선)

Death to the Yankee pigs! (양키놈들에세 죽음을!)

Next, we’ll be looking at army posters.  I am attending a funeral for my great uncle and visiting with my parents who are flying down from Alaska, so the next post probably won’t be for a few days.
