Verdunkeln

Verdunkeln

A blackout policy was initiated throughout Germany two days before the war began - all streetlights were turned off, headlamps were prohibited, and buildings lit at night were required to keep all windows covered with a black cloth in an effort to deter enemy bombers from finding their targets. This poster was to remind people of the dire consequences of being careless with the blackout rule.

Wow. Can't imagine what it was like to have to be so careful like that.
Holy shit, that is great!
it reads: "The enemy sees your light. Make it dark!"
Wow, really cool, Amazing how they thought back then. It must have been weird to have to be so careful at night
that poster is just scary.
It gets the message across rather well, don't you think? *Chuckle!*
I would be soooo tempted to take that with me! I LOVE old posters like this and odd adds from the 40, 50, and 60.
October 19.1942.
Actress Frances Farmer was stopped by police
in Santa Monica for failing to turn off her brights.
This arrest led to a string of events which ruined
her life forever.
I won't go into detail here but you can look her up.
Thanks guitorman; I googled, very interesting indeed.
What a find!!! I love it!
This would make an amazing album cover for a Black Sabbath-type band.
Fascinating story, and see the movie "Frances" too.
That is just amazing. I wouldn't be able to resist taking memoriablia like this
