Bits of Careless Talk Are Pieced Together by the Enemy
Description
Second World War poster depicting a hand wearing a Nazi ring piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. The last piece of the jigsaw is being placed, completing the message "Convoy sails for England / tonight". The poster aims at telling its audience that they should be careful about what they say that can be overheard, as small pieces of information can be put together to form potentially sensitive information
