As there is no war crime, and it occurred during Occupation, this would be a good post for the Occupation forum.

I once was told that I was vain, but I knew that vanity was a fault, so I gave it up because I have no faults.

It is unfortunate we don't have more information about who painted this and what was his background.kerrd wrote:"I am ashamed that I am a German."

Moving this thread to this forum is, frankly, absurd.

The writer signed as "P. Höpl". There is no "Höpl" in the Munich address book published in 1943. The writer might be identical with Peter Höpfl, who had a paint and lacquer shop at Feilitzschstraße 70 (according to Münchner Stadtadreßbuch 1943, p. 272; 2.8 km away for walking according to Google Maps).

I wonder if Peter Höpfl also painted this one just on the other side of the building (Feldherrnhalle)....
