Apparently this sign is for troops returning home from the front...
Quick transliteration:
Preparations for the homeland
1. Hand in ammo
2. Delousing
3. Control of papers - rail warrant [to be] stamped at command post
4. Receive march [=travel] provisions i'e. food
5. Change money [currency]
6. Each according to wish to the Verschönerungsrat. Verschönerung = beautify, embellish, adorn. Rat = advice. I think this was where uniforms could be tidied up - also possible facial grooming, etc.
7. Notify your home coming by post in the camp - "mum I'm coming"
8. 1.5 hours beforehand [you will be] called to the trains, for assembly there and being divided up[ [into coaches]
9. Everything in a good mood, with clean behaviour and joy at [visiting] homeland
