Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Trap, wayside cross and heart
Trap, crossroads and heart – the purple cross dividing the flag is supposed to represent a crossroads. In the centre of this cross is a trap, a symbol of the control the company exercises over a certain area. An enemy who enters these pathways must be prepared to be tricked and captured. A fitting proverb for this is as follows: "If you set a trap with evil intent, you may end up in it yourself." In the depiction, the white person appears to be walking unsuspectingly into the trap, his attention focused on the heart, a symbol of patience, loyalty, honesty, reliability and perseverance. The two people below are the trappers. Author: Doris Kubisch
