Hello. I'm new here and I could use a little help if anyone can. I have resent purchased a relic sign from a seller in Greece. It washed up on the beach in Paros and according to the seller it's from a German ship which sunk nearby during World War 2. The sign measures approximately 30cm x 20cm and is made from pressed aluminium. It looks like this..... Vorsicht
Akku
Explosionsgefahr
Translated:Caution accumulator explosion hazard.
After looking into nearby german shipwrecks, the only one to go down anywhere close was the U-133 off the coast of the neighbouring Aegina Island after hitting a German mine in March 1942. All hands lost. Can anyone confirm that the sign would've actually been on that U - boat? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
