Military Warning Signs “Danger to Life / Military Area” – U.S. Forces, Cold War
two original military warning signs from the vicinity of US bases in Germany, second half of the 20th century, in typical used condition with signs consistent with age, each with legible print on a textured background, good substance, historical documents of the US military presence during the Cold War. 1) Warning sign with clearly highlighted warning "Achtung Lebensgefahr! Betreten und Befahren verboten!", German metal sign mounted on a metal support, reverse with old mounting rail and identification "T016", 99.5 x 60 cm (HxW) 2) Sign printed with text in German and English: "Militärischer Bereich der amerikanischen Streitkräfte / Military Area of the U.S. Forces", each with a prohibition on photography, filming, and entry without permission, 60 x 100 cm (HxW)
These original warning signs date from the Cold War era and vividly document the presence of U.S. forces on German soil. Such signs were placed at military restricted areas and entrances to barracks or security zones, serving both as deterrents and legal safeguards. The bilingual format reflects the close security cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States under NATO. Today, these signs are considered authentic witnesses to post-war history and are sought-after collectibles among military memorabilia enthusiasts.
