Whats It Say?

Not to good on the german,but what dose it say, something like,always check the chamber is clear,and being his collar tabs are red a flak soldier aswell,so was it a flak barracks then too if you know?.

Checking the chamber is one problem - but this poster shows a P08, that is important for the understanding of the poster.

The barrel/receiver-unit is one main part You had to disassemble during the maintenance procedure. You can see the red firing pin! The P08 shown here is FULL FUNCTIONAL! Just a small touch of a very small part on the downside of the reciever and it makes a loud noise...

"Remember - Snake in the Grass!" will translate it propperly I think.

Thanks for your comments. I think the English translation for this poster would be "Danger threatens here!" (coming from my Canadian veteran). Could a German person tell us the real translation?

It's quite correct; and the first two words "Merke Dir:" simply mean "Remember:"

Ramon, sorry that I was an idot thinking my dumb explanation can help to understand what the poster means.
I got only the original Maßtafeln zur Pistole 08 1:1 in German, for sure, and don't know all translations of the parts en detail.

I am sorry but I want to keep this beautiful poster in my office/museum, it is framed already and it was a gift from my dear friend. Here is the poster framed:

What's the meaning of this phrase? Please.

This is a very, very rare poster. I recall that poster only from a picture in a book, and have never seen an original.
