This was one of the most widely distributed posters in France during World War II. “Silence,” the poster warns, “the enemy will steal your secrets.” Although the Germans had yet to invade France, there was a general paranoia about the espionage war which had certainly already begun. This is the rare, larger format version of the poster.
