I have a suspicion that this window display is about the shoes being rationing free as they use wooden soles. The arrows pointing to a hinge point. The Germans were taking all the leather that they could off the French to maintain their horse based army. I note also how little leather is in the uppers either.

I leave it to the more literate to make comments about sabotage.........
 
"....the shoes being rationing free as they use wooden soles."

"Fashion" can be successfully fashionable without "real" materials ... and France remained fashionable for the Germans throughout the war .... that's all I'm saying. The sabotage can be attributed to the 'entertainment' industry.
