Thank you for your reply Poitr. Now I know its a flag, and I know that the skull and crossbones means "poisinous" on containers with poisonous liquids, but I was wondering about the traditional meaning, and why that symbol would be chosen for the german military? What did it signify for them?

thanks Carman
