The Flag is inspired by the common plastic miniature soldiers, which were first introduced by the Toy company Louis Marx and Company after Second World War, and now become well-known toys. Despite evoking the brutal memories of killing, the plastic soldiers, which are mainly designed to dress in either U.S. or German uniforms, are still popular among children today.
