3rd Reich sign

[Tony]

Hello,

I wasn't sure which section to put this in so if this is the wrong place please feel free to move it.

It is a 3rd Reich Kindergarten sign and I don't suppose there are many of these around. Can anyone decipher the runes? What does the V in NSV stand for?

Thanks

Tony

I've just noticed the runes to decipher probably aren't runes at all. It's NSV!

This shows the sign maker.

Tony.

The NSV was the NS-Volkswohlfahrt, the social welfare department of the Nazi Party. It looked after the welfare of Party members and was eventually controlled by the Allgemeine-SS.

Hello Robin,

This sign unusual in that it isn't enamel, it's a sort of pressed wood. I've never seen wooden ones before.

Me neither. They're usually enamelled iron. Probably an economy measure.
