I will explain the joke to you. That is because I am German.
"Einmarsch" translates "Invasion".

Yes, Markus, it is a translation error obviously. But, let me tell you one thing as a native speaker: never translate "entry" with "Einmarsch" which is a military term (mil.). It literally means "marching in" (to a restaurant). Now I am off for a march lock-step to the pub. It is not my fault. I was only following orders. The sign clearly stated "invade the pub".

And after eating there you'll have Durchmarsch.

Explanation:
Durchmarsch means to march through and is also used as a term for having the runs.

Shouldn't that sign be pointing towards the sunbeds?

For those who don't know, there is a great tradition/stereotype of the Germans sunbathers reserving all the sunbeds by the pool by putting their towels on them, often before 6am. This causes much irritation to British sunbathers who wanted to do the same thing.

Hence this advert:
