"Mutter sperr die Tochter ein," - "Mother lock the daughter up,"
"die Fallschirmjäger kehren heim!" - "the paratroopers are returning home!"

Hi Larry,

thank You very much for posting this really interesting pic. With Your permission I will try to translate the graffiti of the last pic:
In the front: "Achtung Lesen!" - "Attention, read!"
On the left side: "Von 10.00 - 12.00 / 13.00 - 14.00 Fahrten zur Kaserne" - "From 10 - 12 / 13 - 14 o´clock trips to the barracks"
"ab Hauptbahnhof mit unseren Fahrzeugen" - "from the main station with our vehicles"
"Geländefahrten quer durch die Heide!" - "Cross-country drives straight through the heath!"

Regards

Bert

Hi Bert,

Thank you for the translation. I wonder why they wrote that information on their truck. For the camera perhaps?

Cheers,
Larry
