This image looks like it was cut fromm a publicity still for the movie the Great Escape with Steve McQueen, 1963. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i-4LTdSQ1AY/S36LbEwPNWI/AAAAAAAAAmw/Sre-8rCztig/s1600-h/u1530680.jpg which is still available as a poster.

It's basically gaspipe lettering. Evogria matches the caps pretty well but hasn't got a lower case.
Suggested font: Evogria

Evogria is a reasonable substitute for _ACHTUNG_
The _S_ does not match.
I suspect that this was never a font as such in 1963.
For the lower case I am tempted by Georg Trump's Signum of 1955, digitized as Trump Gothic and using the bold weight. The _r_ could be made by clipping the rhs leg from _n_. Expanding the width slightly and other minor edits would make a better fit.
