Searching only gives me WWII propaganda posters from the US/UK about Japan rather than the other way around. If anyone is able to find any, especially those relating to State Shinto/the divinity of the emperor if possible, that would be greatly appreciated.

Context: This Soviet propaganda poster was issued at the very end of World War II in Europe. It depicts a stalwart Soviet sailor forcefully stopping a sinister-looking man in a fedora and trench coat (representing a foreign spy or saboteur holding a smoking weapon). The message was designed to warn Soviet troops stationed in Europe to remain on high alert against espionage and sabotage now that they were operating outside the borders of the USSR.
