Bare et forslag til en løsning, der godt nok ikke oversætter udtrykket; men fortolkningen er vel i samme boldgade. |

Der var mange af dem - Careless talk costs lives, Walls have ears, mm.
Påmindelser om, at tavshed var guld, eller at man skulle tænke hele tiden på, at fjenden kunne samle op information alle vegne, og at uforsigtig snak helt bogstaveligt kunne afsløre, hvor skibe eller konvojer var, så fjendens ubåde kunne søge dem ud og sænke dem.
Det kræver nok en rigtig dansker at finde frem til et ægte slogan, men mon ikke jeres modstandsfolk havde nogle tilsvarende?
Tænk på ´Flammen og Citronen´ eller familien Fiil i Hvidsten... eller andre krigshelte.
