    Not sure if there is already a thread on these.

    But here, at least are a couple I saw recently.

    WARNING SIGN
    This British poster from 1939 warns of German invasion plans, according to a purported “map issued by the Nazis in 1937.” The map shows Britain under German control by 1948. What might have seemed hysterical at the time—just after the fall of Poland—would later come all too close to reality.
