Hey, that’s not a rough-surf warning flag I see there…

Norderney is one of the seven populated East Frisian Islands off the North Sea coast of Germany. It is also a municipality in the district of Aurich in Lower Saxony.

The island is 14 km long and about 2.5 km wide, having a total area of about 26.3 square kilometres (10.2 sq mi) and is therefore Germany’s tenth largest island. Norderney’s population amounts to about 6,200 people. On the northern side of the island lies a 14 km long sandy beach.

Of the seven East Frisian islands, Norderney is the youngest. The island has only existed in its present form since the middle of the 16th century, being the eastern remnant of the larger island Buise. The larger island of Buise was split into two parts during the Grote Mandrenke flood of 1362, the eastern half at first being called Ostrende. What was left of Buise shrunk in size over the years and finally disappeared into the North Sea during the St. Peter’s Flood of 1651.

just came across your tumblr blog

and thought you might be interested in this. It was collected in prewar Germany by my late Uncle Peter (sadly died some while ago of shell shock induced alcoholism – though he was dry at the end of his life), and given to me with a large collection of other prewar beermats he had collected. All of them are interesting to some extent, but this one leapt out at me! The juxtaposition of the Coke symbol and swastika is really shocking, and I suspect something Coca Cola corp would prefer was forgotten ;-)
