Gemeinschaftsempfang der Rede des Führers (communal listening to the Führer's speech): shop notice
A notice in a shop door reads: 'On the occasion of the communal reception of the Führer's speech there will be a sales break from 16 to 17 hours.' Business stops so that staff and customers listen together; the notice itself tells every passer-by that the whole street is tuning in.

Entrance pull On the occasion of the communal reception of the Führer's speech there will be a sales break during the time from 16 to 17 hours (4 to 5)
'Eingang ziehen' (Entrance, pull) is a separate oval door sign, not part of the notice itself; included because it is legible printed text on the same photographed door.
