G'day all,
What is the british truck in SP's post with the overall tracks on the rear?

No, seriously.



I've tried to google for information on these, or better images, but drew a blank. Can anyone point me to some info on the odd winged-shape decorations that Belgian highway signs seemed to have during the Second World War?

I'd better just warn you before the 'noorderburen' come down on you like a ton of bricks but judging by the destinations, that signpost is very much in The Netherlands.

Any useful information would be welcome, especially a decent image of the device itself. I've googled for both Belgian and Dutch information but am coming up empty.

Michael, no great mystery, simply a sign set up by the touring organisation ANWB.

Rich.

The mystery is what the symbol represents, how widely used are they, etc. Do you have any further information? Were they in use on all signs in 1944-45, or just select routes?

What is the ANWB?
