Would a German tank crewman or commander painted "Nosferatu" on the front of his tank during World War Two. In small letters, not numeral size letters.

Nosferatu is the German vampire film, silent film infact from the twenties. I am just wondering because I have an idea.

Thanks!

The only names I have ever seen on any German AFV was a female. Indication would be she would be wife/girlfriend of one of crew members same seems to hold true for aircraft, though Adolf Galland did have Mickey Mouse
