9th Infantry: "Hitler's Nemesis"

The Octofoil Insignia

The division insignia is a red-and-blue octofoil—a design of eight petals—with a white center. The octofoil, based upon the rules of the 15th Century, was the mark of the ninth son. Red and blue are designating colors of an Infantry division headquarters flag; white is for the numbers used in divisional flags. The circular background is olive drab.
