World War Two "Loose Talk" Caution Advisory and Homeland Safety and Security Posters:Protecting U.S. and Allied troops, ships and secrets, keeping Americans alert against German and Japanese spies and saboteurs: 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. The Office of War Information must have had the lithograph machines running almost nonstop at the U.S. Government Printing Office but that wasn't enough private companies produced a large number of posters to warning against careless discussion of the whereabouts of troops or ships, many of allied ships were being sunk by German u-boats. These posters were displayed in factories, shipyards, army and navy posts, waterfront bars, restaurants, public buildings any public gathering place; in magazines and wherever there was danger of German or Japanese spies or saboteurs.
