Tony Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 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?ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 I've just noticed the runes to decipher probably aren't runes at all. It's NSV!This shows the sign maker.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 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.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're usually enamelled iron. Probably an economy measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
