hey everyone,

just wondering if anyone could tell me where i could download from the internet a printable sheet of those black and white, skull and bones german mine signs? or any other mines signs from the world war II era?

cheers

Matt,
Check out the old Tamiya Road sign kit. I think it had that decal in it.

Here's one in use and here's a few you can play around with if you have a graphics program

Here are some I made earlier

this is a good example of what it should look like (roughly)



for minefields it's probably best to use the standard sort but for booby traps and warnings, makeshift hand written signs can add some extra character.

You have to be careful since there were different versions used by the Wehrmacht. Besides all those improvised signs there were two major versions which looked very similiar but one was just used as a dummy to slow down any enemy advance, the other one was used for real minefields. I think they were the one with skull, bones and red stripes. Unfortunately I can't find my source for this information at the moment.

That´s a great freebie Pat thanks for sharing it.

thnx guys, real big help!!!

cheers
