Crooked Stars
My Uncle served in NW Europe during the war, and apparently no-one told his unit that the stars had to be crooked or the same size!

Just my two cents useless input - Czechs apparently were also members of this crooked star gang
As you can see on the original photo star is also slightly misaligned, so I kept them in this way too. Maybe just a way how some soldiers behave in all these uniformity?

Brilliant, Jordan!
Here’s an official press photo released shortly before Herbie “stubbed his toe on the Normandy beach”: “First View of "Liberation Star" Insignia For D-Day Invasion | May 1944 Dated | Official Signal Corps News Period Photograph. This photo shows the white star, designated as the identification marking of the liberation forces to be deployed to the ETO at Normandy. The star was used on all Allied ground forces during the rest of WWII. Note the truck is Canadian. The location is England, just before the invasion. The unit marking is censored for deletion, indicating the truck was assigned to the Canadian Postal Corps.”
