According to these signs, we are in the middle of World War II:
These signs are taken from the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago where they have a German submarine, a U-505, on display. This exhibit was really interesting, and I would highly recommend it. I thought it was going to take us a half hour to walk through, it ended up taking closer to two.
Getting the photos of these signs was tough, the lighting was pretty dim overall, but then there were bright lights on the posters. I used my lowest f-stop setting to let in as much light as possible, so f/1.8. I also increased my ISO to 800. The shutter speeds used were still pretty slow, so I braced myself against the wall to be as still as possible. Looking at the photos now, I am thinking that I should have tried the ISO a little higher to see if I could get a faster shutter speed.
