Blitz-Peace
The famous sign “Peace” (☮) was the insignia of the Wehrmacht 3. Panzer-Division (1941–1945).
Details:
This sign is supposed to be an ancient pictogram symbolizing death.
Of course, this origin is not the one that inspired pacifists, but the mixing of two semaphores N (/ \) and D (|) for Nuclear Disarmament.

Only a few sources on Wikipedia really reveal this (german, italian, polish, russian…).
UK, Spanish and French versions (amongst others) don’t show the peace logo as Panzer Division Insignia. Did they forget or won’t they shock public opinion ?
