Rich, thanks for that post earlier about the V's,
creepy stuff.
Here's another interesting WWII related item that
popped up today, reminding me of the Disney references
in GR. This blog entry has a scan of the insignia:

WWII POWs get a Disney Designed Insignia
DRY YANKEE HUMOR is puzzling guards at a German base
prison camp for Allied airmen, since American POWs
there decided to adopt insignia to show their new
status. The postcard below, sent by Capt. Robert H.
Bishop, a bomber navigator now at the camp, brought
the design at the right from the Walt Disney studios
to Germany, via the Red Cross.
