    Anyone have a clue where this is?

    My first posted pic. I think it is interesting. I don't read german so don't know what sign says. Note the panzer men in foreground. Let me know what you think. thanks

    Kraftfahrer means driver but I'm not sure what this actually means in this context.

      It means that all motor vehicles (drivers) are not allowed to go faster than 10 km/h over that bridge. The REALLY interesting sign is the LEFT one illegible on your scan. I just can make out ......brücke. This one tells you the name of the bridge and with it maybe the location! Looks like an improvised pontoon bridge to me.
      Cheers, Frank

        I think on the left sign one word is "Kriegsbrücke" = war bridge.
        For more research better scans would help.

            Okay found my glass, kids hide stuff in the darndest places. The center sign reads "oberstilin velke-brucke" and maybe either 1245 or 1945? the one one the left reads "kriegsbrucke der feldzugei geibmil 375 km or m"
            Okay guys hope this helps..

                  The word on the top says Längste meaning longest.

                      It looks like:

                      Oberstltn.
                      Velke-Brücke
                      Pi45

                      Oberstltn. Velke was presumably associated with Pionier.Btl. 45 (destroyed in Stalingrad) or Pionier-Batl. (mot.) 45, which was raised on 14.08.1943.
