I am trying to find 1/72 or 1/76 scale road sign decals or stickers for my diorama. Either French or German.

Hope someone can help.

Hi Ian, there are commercially available road signs by a lot of companies but the most common is Verlinden. The signs are in 1/35 but you can shrink them down to the correct scale on a printer/ copier. I am fully aware that there are certain copyright laws etc. but if you are doing it for yourself you should be ok. Jim R.

Peddinghaus has released some German stuff that may interest you :

PN Sud has released two sets of French road signs :

You could always make your own with Word or Photoshop.
Link to some great examples:

They look pretty simple.

If you decide to follow Jim's suggestion, you could take a look at Dioart stuff. They have released several sets of German and French WW2 road signs and signage :
