To me, it looks like they are trying to make the country feel almost guilty for not enlisting. The mans face is very somber, to the point where you feel sorry for him. The poster shows him by himself holding the flag. Even though there is a sadness to his eyes, he is still proud to hold the flag. The boy is not old, he looks youthful, so I would assume that they want younger men to enlist.
Poster for the Axis Powers

The main objective to this poster is two things, to get men to enlist and also to make the country proud. This young man, has a confident, proud look on his face. And the Nazi sign is visable on his arm. I translated "Gerade Du" to help in elvaluating the poster, however, it was translated literaly as "straight one you". I don't quite understand why they would say that.
One commonality in both is the portrayal of a youthful man.
