Description
A British Second World War poster reminding the civilian public of the prominence of German spies. During the war, the need to keep quiet about any state or military related matters was reinforced in a number of posters. This poster depicts a poster of a man, split in two: on the right hand side, he appears to be a fashionable, if generic, man. On the left, he is in full German military dress. It is an effective way of asserting visually that not everyone was as they appeared.
