Marilyn,
I don't know if this reply will make much sense to you, but here goes.
The drivers were a happy go lucky lot and they enjoyed decorating their jeeps.
We were in So France at the time and the French people lined the roads in their villages to welcome us and they were overjoyed to see the French flag on our recon jeep as we liberated their town even though they well knew that we were Americans. In addition, seeing the French flag on our vehicle may have caused the pretty young ladies to climb aboard and give us a hug and kiss and maybe a bottle of vino! They had seen enough swastikas!
