"Someone Talked"
One of the most famous posters of World War II, "Someone Talked" urges Americans to prevent sensitive information from falling into enemy hands. Closely associated with the "Loose Lips Sink Ships" series communicating the same idea, the image of a drowning sailor dramatically illustrates the consequences of careless talk about military activities.
