Mixing a known coloured item "The German Reich Flag" with other signs and emblems merely confuses the issue.......

That is for sure.
We all know that pink with purple and scarlet were indeed the correct German colors
.
Pink was actually used as a piping color on some uniforms.

Anyone who has been a member of a "Recon" team knows that you spend a lot of your time crawling through mud and finally laying up in an insect infested sinkhole desperately searching for your target usually to no avail,
And that is what a "Hexamine" burner and a tea bag were invented for, PARADISE
