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. It was one of many demanding that citizens not discuss military activity with anyone, including people they trusted, for fear of espionage. Note the person looking through the window behind the two men in the foreground.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Office of Government Reports.
