No... stop using Wikipedia. Wikipedia is all propaganda and because this fact is embarrassing to the UK Wikipedia waters down the history.
it never became an official propaganda poster; rather, a handful were printed on a test basis. The specific purpose of the poster was to stiffen resolve in the event of a Nazi invasion
or how about:
The third and final poster of the set was again very straightforward and to the point - it simply read ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’. The plan in place for this poster was to issue it only upon the invasion of Britain by Germany. As this never happened, the poster was never officially seen by the public.
Nowhere in the (((guardian))) article is the sentiment expressed "in the event of NAZI invasion".
Keep calm and carry on implicitly means, don't worry about what you can't change (like getting struck by lightning or hit by a V2). The nation is tightening its belt in unprecedented austerity measures and everyone is required to focus on work and the war effort to get through. Panicking for something out of your control does no-one any good.

From antiques roadshow? Yeah they all say the same thing! A poster says "Keep Calm and Carry On" like the poster that says "Keep Calm and Carry On" but this last poster really sheds light as to the pernicious undercurrent and hidden meaning of the 'fatalist' secret agenda [QBrainFart], this one if you squint really hard just says "Keep Calm and Carry On".
Talk about grasping at straws.
Your the kind of guy that reads the poem 'The Road not Taken by Robert Frost', everyone interprets the poem as either being about regret mostly and some say its pride for thinking he deserves the road not taken, as opposed to missed opportunity. You'd probably think its about the Jewish illuminati, lizardmen, spacebase 5, beep boop, invasion of beep boop, reeeeeee.
The British should have joined the volk, but lets not pull shit out of thin air.
Nowhere in the (((guardian))) article is the sentiment expressed "in the event of NAZI invasion".
Paragraph 9, sentence 2. Were the big words so hard that you could not even get through 9 paragraphs? Did you fail reading comprehension? I fucking quoted the part about a Nazi invasion.
PS - Are you British and embarrassed? Because the only other explanations are that you are either an idiot, a shill, or a revisionist.
PPS - ...or do you have a stupid 'Remain Calm' mug?
Paragraph 9, sentence 2.
It says that does it? Lets find out.
You can see one on a billboard in the background of the last scene of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1943 film, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, when the ageing, reactionary but charming soldier finds his house in Belgravia bombed.
Talk about reading between the lines.
You mean this sentence instead?
Possibly, this was because it was considered less appropriate to the conditions of the blitz than to the mass panic expected in the event of a German ground invasion.
So the poster was made to reduce panic and increase production during the blitz. It preceded the unlikely event of land invasion seeing as the German airforce was ineffective to make headway into Britain. Your opinion, against all evidence to the contrary and testimony stating that the poster has next to nothing to do with implying the population should just surrender at the first sign of stress as your indicating.
It states, should this happen, would it work? Not it was made in the event this would take place.
Read the sentence again, then again, then start over and read it one more time, then probably another time for good luck, then join us at the adults table.
Are you familiar with the term supposition? Because you seem to know what you clearly don't know.
