After studying various WW2 German mine warning signs i found that most have two blobs of paint marked on eack sign together may be indicating the type of mine etc. See attched picture marke by the two red arrows. Anyone know what these colours are and what they mean.
Not sure about these special markings; certainly there were many additional and local different signs & marks to prevent accidents or enable proper clearance.
Under normal circumstances, every layed minefield had to be documented accurately and a copy send to a central archive of mine plans, located at Dessau-Rosslau/Saxony.
But there is another information to note on this picture.
According to H.Dv.220/4c, the barbewired post indicates ap-mines.
I did read that white and red were used to indicated a friendly side and a Danger side, looking at the photos i see two colour types one that most probaly is red, not sure what the other is, may be this is a late war way of marking mine fields, the photo's were taken in Holland.
