"Under Art. 23(f) it is forbidden "to make improper use of a flag of truce, of the national flag, or of military insignia and uniform of the enemy, as also the distinctive signs of the Geneva Convention. "However, there is some controversy as to what constitutes "improper use" of the enemy's flag or uniform. While stratagems are allowed, perfidy is prohibited.
