Without you posting a picture of the poster that you've seen how can anyone tell what it might mean ?

[Jeremy Dixon]

Its just a sign with IIY on it. You don't need to see the poster

Y letter code is used for flamethrowers.

I will post the photo, it was from the Great Escape film..........I know it could be all fictitiousbut I just wanted to know if it meant anything as I purchased the poster for my sister at Xmas

[von thoma]

It's a fake symbol, for sure.

[Jeremy Dixon]

That's fine thanks.

[Bill Murray]

Not to overdo it, but I agree with von thoma.

I have not seen a German military plate yet with the slash in the 7 as we see on the motorbike and the sign also has a 7 with slash.

It is after all from a post-war movie, not the most reliable source.

Good point, Marcus.

Too bad AHF was not available when the film was made as it would have been an invaluable research/information source.
