A jigsaw puzzle-based board game manufactured during the 1930s, reminds American youth just who "Our Defenders" were. By the late 1930s the first rumblings of World War II had begun. The topic of a potential or impending war was very likely popular especially among boys. This game's mechanics allow players to slowly assemble small images of different ranking American soldiers, piece by piece depending on the luck of a spinner device.
