Rich, thanks for that post earlier about the V's,

Here's another interesting WWII related item that

WWII POWs get a Disney Designed Insignia

DRY YANKEE HUMOR is puzzling guards at a German base
prison camp for Allied airmen, since American POW’s
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.
