This poster comes from a series of foreign posters that were created during World War II by foreign information offices or war relief associations in the United States. This poster was one of many demanding that citizens not discuss military activity with anyone, including people they trusted, for fear of espionage. Note the person sitting on the luggage rack above the two men talking.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Office of Government Reports.
