There is a custom to paint signs of victories on the war machines - indicating a number of the dogfight wins, bombing missions, destroyed tanks, sunk submarines.... Svastikas, stars, siluettes of tanks or U-boats
Who, where and why has started to paint the siluettes of the toilets on the bridges of their warships?

O-oh, you are just guessing!

No, it's WWII quiz.
