Images of violence and battle casualties in WWII posters:
The government tried to identify the most effective poster styles through surveys. Survey data revealed that strange as it may have seemed, American's did not like to face the fact that their bond money was being used to kill Japanese or other peoples. Posters showing bloody scenes of an American bayoneting another soldier was not seen by viewers as appealing. However, posters showing American soldiers being put in danger by the Japanese were effective but Department of Treasury who published most all U.S. bond marketing and sales posters eventually banned all casualty images on their war bond posters.
World War 2 Homeland Security USA Safety Patriotic Posters, a U.S. "Loose Talk" Type Poster: "Careless Talk Got there First"
Espionage has been with us since early time but the immigrant/melting pot based nature of the United States and our relatively late involvement in World War 2 made 1940s America a lucrative environment for spies and potential saboteurs. Naturally the dangers and concerns of national security intensified when the United States entered the war and America's overseas military and homeland patriots urgently needed additional protection. The U.S. Government had a great need to alert its' military and private citizens to the presence of enemy spies and saboteurs lurking in American society. A major advertising blitz involving all media eventually produced thousands of remarkable "careless talk" type posters to warn people that small snippets of information regarding troop movements or other logistical details would be useful to the enemy and could easily compromise national security and U.S. military personnel' safety. These vintage 1940s public domain poster images like this one "Careless Talk Got there First" displayed on this page from the Safety and National Security World War 2 Gallery of this website allow you to own a copyright free piece of WWII history, a historic patriotic artwork poster.
