February '18 Photo Comp -Signs

[TPC]

This month's topic was chosen by our December/January winner 4bye4

Signs
This could be famous, funny, and signs that state the obvious, like "no standing on the railway track".
I am sure everybody would have photos that are suitable for this topic and if not, it is not hard to take some new photos.




Remember to follow the rules shown in pink below.


Regards
TPC

Entry #1

Brother in law risked his life as a 12 year old to tear down this enamel sign that was placed on the textile mill my father in law worked at during WW11.
The country had been occupied and the mill was taken over to produce war supplies for the Nazi war effort. The workers were slave labour and he was so incensed that he snuck out a night and tore down several of these signs. Literally risking live and limb, the rest were thrown into the river but he kept this one as a souvenir.

Roughly translates to 'For the production of cloth for all members of the national socialist german workers party'

You do know you don't have to be the fastest as long as at least one person is slower than you.
