Wanted! For Murder

This simple, yet effective and dramatic, poster gets right to the point - careless talk about troop movements and locations has serious consequences. An unassuming housewife, her hair in Victory Rolls, stares at us intently. Her careless talk in a flippant moment has led to a soldier's overseas demise.

The theme of careless conversation was a major concern of the U.S. government on the home-front. Prior to the war, there had been numerous massive pro-Nazi rallies in the United States and so the threat of espionage was considerable. Many posters were created, some graphic and others humorous to help bring awareness to this concern.
