I am a jeep owner. And I have white stars on it, not red, as Zbyněk Petráček asks, because he says that most of the territory of the Czechoslovakia was liberated by the Red Army. Any stars on Jeep MB vehicles were absolutely taboo before 1989. After the Velvet Revolution, Jeep owners could finally spray paint stars on their vehicles. And no one could order them to paint them. One hundred percent of owners opted for white and none for red.
The reasons are clear: there is no "liberator" like a liberator. The ones with white stars came, liberated and left. And they still prevented the excesses of the RG (looting guards) against their German-speaking fellow citizens, claiming that they did not come to liberate us from the Nazis so that we would start behaving like Nazis. Those with the red stars came to replace one totalitarian dictatorship (Nazi) with another totalitarian dictatorship (Communist). To loot, rape, steal watches and watch the excesses of the worst human scum against their German-speaking fellow citizens. Any more questions about the color of the stars on the jeeps?
