After researching extensivly on WW2 propaganda posters I wanted the interior to have its own distinct take on this element, I was happy with the final result.
I don't know how visible or important this poster will be in the final composite, but if you have time, why not do a bit of simple cleanup to the typography?
In Photoshop, click the Type tool, and choose a typeface, size and colour. Enter your text: "THE ENEMY", and then OK it with the tick symbol.
In the menu go to Layer > Type, and in the flyout menu, choose Warp Text... This will bring up a dialogue box with a dropdown chooser list. Select Arch from the list, and then fiddle with the sliders until your text is "arching" over Hitler, as in your painting here in this post. Click OK and save.
I don't know what typefaces are loaded onto the college 'puters but go for something like a Gill sans bold, if you can, to get that 1940's feel.
I hope this is of some help, and you don't find my comment too intrusive.

Nice layout, Rag. Very true to period.
