    Summary

    Do you know what they paint a lot of the boats out here in really crazy funny colors? Well, I know you couldn’t see them all, but you could see some. Like these jagged blue and darker blue. One is like a zebra, big bold stripes. And one of the ones we saw when we landed here on the coast of XXXXXXXXXXX is like this crazy Picasso with all the colors mixed up in chunks and you know you told me that didn’t ya? You can imagine it, anyhow. The camoufloors in the Great War they did that too, to confuse the U-boats.

     

    --from Bucky's second letter to Steve, describing boats painted in "dazzle camouflage," which did not deceive enemies as to the location of a ship but rather its type, speed, and direction.

     

    The Howling Commandos watch Steve's Captain America movie. Steve and Bucky finally get a sundae or three.
