Předmět: fez identification help
>We were recently offered two dark red hats resembling the stereotypic fez
>with black tassel on top. The potential donor informs us that these were
>acquired by her late husband when he was a GI during World War II. One hat
>is embroidered with a butah (paisley) pattern in very pale green and
yellow.
>The second hat is decorated only with an inscription: "1945 M.U. [the man's
>initials] Strakonice Czechoslovakia". Are these the simple souvenirs they
>appear to be, or have they some greater significance? Does anyone know why
>a GI might have acquired a fez shaped hat in Czechoslovakia?
