About the Poster: This World War II propaganda poster, titled "Careless Talk Got There First," was created by artist Ray Prohaska in 1944. It was part of a broader campaign by the U.S. government to warn civilians and military personnel about the dangers of sharing sensitive information that could be intercepted by enemy forces. The dramatic design features a heavily burdened soldier, bent low under the weight of his gear, suggesting the deadly consequences of leaked information. The background, showing stormy skies and palm trees, hints at a Pacific battlefield. The vivid colors, intense expressions, and dynamic composition are characteristic of Prohaska’s style, which combined realism with emotional urgency to deliver a powerful message.
