An Original Vintage Folded Belgian World War II Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Pigeons-Voyageurs (literally translates to "Passenger Pigeons"), the 1941 Belgian World War II (WWII) poster announcing orders by General Alexander von Falkenhausen to deal with all Homing Pigeons. The Germans had many trained falcons that decimated Allied pigeons, but Germans also appropriated pigeons for their own use. This poster details new regulations for pigeon owners and was produced by the Nazi German occupying forces, probably to stop sensitive information from being sent via pigeon and to use them for themselves. Note that the pigeons referred to in this poster are called "Pigeions-Voyageurs", which literally translates to "Passenger Pigeons", but that was a misnomer, because Passenger pigeons had been an extinct North American species for a number of years at the time of this poster being printed!
