Yes, the German embassy placed this notice.
What does this part say about whom the notice is addressing and the main message?
" vessels flying the flag of Great Britian, or of any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Britian or her allies do so at their own risk."
What do you think the connection is between the notice and the advertisement?
For the last question, check this site.

the notice is addressing anyone who goes in the war zone..?
Nope. Look again at this sentence:
"TRAVELLERS intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded . . ."
"TRAVELLERS intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded . . ."
