(#5578054) The World War Two Signpost

THE WORLD WAR TWO SIGNPOST
TOTI
EMUL
ESTO
.
During World WarII (1939-1945), an American soldier, on the battlefields of Europe, once while alone, came across a wooden pole, on which a wooden board was fixed at the top, on which this writing was carved:
TOTI
EMUL
ESTO
He did not know the name of the town or village, nor could he recall in which part of Europe he saw that signpost.
On returning to the U.S.A. after the war, he asked as many people of European descent he knew: French, Spanish, Italian, German etc., but nobody could tell what the sign meant nor in which language it could be.
Later, he understood the meaning of that writing. Well, what is it? This is a puzzle, but it will be a joke when you know the answer.
