Hi everybody,
I've embarked on a living history project that involves a portrayal of the Polish AK during the Warsaw Uprising. There are many aspects to this project, and one of them is the re-creation of some period-correct signage from the city of Warsaw in August 1944. The intent is to have a unique backdrop for public historic interpretation. These signs can vary widely--it would be nice to know what a street sign looked like, but some Jewish notice, maybe a small hotel sign perhaps would be ideal.
I'm having a hard time finding any examples of German/Polish signs on a variety of websites. I've looked through photographs here:
www.warsawuprising.com
and here:
http://www.warszawa.ap.gov.pl/dtland...ka_glowna.html
and to the various albums on Flickr, but I still can't seem to find any clear images that highlight some city signage that's clear enough for me to reproduce.
Can anyone point me to some good images?
Best,
JJ
