Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "The big water bird catches the fish from its own angle"
"The big water bird catches a fish from a different angle". In this motif, the flag owners identify with the waterfowl, while rivals are mocked as minnows that are easy to catch. The way the large waterfowl, seemingly a pelican, catches the fish by swooping in with lightning speed from a surprising angle, is meant to illustrate the unpredictability of the company. In addition to the "narrator", i.e. the person who points to what is unfolding, the flag also has a shape appliqued on it that is most likely meant to represent a fishing net, a reference to the proverb: "Our enemies are as easy to catch as fish in a dragnet".Author: Doris Kubisch
