En svensk tiger

En svensk tiger was a slogan in Sweden, who asked during the Second World War, Swedish citizens to keep secrets to foreign countries.

The sentence is ambiguous, since the word svensk ie both Swedish and Swedish / Swedish woman and tiger called for a tiger, on the other hand, it is the present tense for silent ( tiga ). In this respect, ie the saying both " A Swedish tiger " and " A Swede / A Swede is silent ."

The well-known in Sweden poster to a yellow and blue striped tiger was created in 1941 by Bertil Almqvist on behalf of Statens Informationsstyrelse.
