Offered for sale today is one of the most known propaganda posters of WWII. The "Careless Talk Costs Lives - You never know who's listening" poster depicts two women sitting on a train and conversing, while Hitler and Goering are listening in from the seat behind them. The women are shown speaking casually unaware of the presence of the two Nazi leaders.

The poster was designed to remind people that even the most innocent conversations could potentially reveal important military information to the enemy, and to encourage people to be vigilant about what they said in public. The poster was one of a series of propaganda posters produced by the British government to boost morale and encourage public support for the war effort.

This professionally printed poster on what seems to be an aluminum surface, is beautifully framed in a color-matched aluminum frame. While this is a large 29.5 x 19.5 inches poster, due to the materials used, it is fairly light and easy to move.
