Keep Mum, She's Not So Dumb

EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Striking WW2 Poster Emphasizing the Importance of Secrecy This evocative color photolithograph poster, titled "Keep Mum, She's Not So Dumb," is a modern reproduction of an original World War Two poster from 1940. The poster serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of secrecy during wartime, with its compelling imagery and thought-provoking message. The poster features three servicemen in various branches of the military - army, navy, and air force - seated around a table, engrossed in conversation with a glamorous woman dressed in an evening gown. The woman, with her alluring smile and captivating presence, exudes an air of mystery and danger. The soldiers appear to be completely captivated by her, oblivious to the potential perils of their careless talk. The title of the poster, "Keep Mum, She's Not So Dumb," emphasizes the deceptive nature of the woman and the importance of maintaining secrecy. The phrase "careless talk costs lives" is prominently displayed below the image, driving home the message that even seemingly harmless conversations could have serious consequences during wartime. This poster, with its striking visuals and poignant message, is a testament to the historical significance of the 1940s and the unique challenges of wartime. It serves as a reminder of the importance of discretion and the potential dangers of careless talk, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or military memorabilia.
