Hi all,

maybe it is interesting to post a new topic about Graffiti on vehicles of the Wehrmacht. I will try to post one pic a week.
Here the first: "Parole Heimat" (password home) on the roof of the cabin, "Gehste weg!" (Go away!) on the bumper.

Regards

Bert

Hi,

here another graffiti on a Hanomag tractor:
on the left side of the cabin: Luise - ich komme! (Luise - I´m coming!); Wien - Krakau - [u]Paris[/u] - [u]London[/u]! (Vienna - Cracow - [u]Paris[/u] - [u]London[/u]).
The text on the left side of the box I cannot decipher.
The text on the back of the box: Annahmestelle für Kriegserklärungen! (collecting point for declarations of war).
