I'm reminded about an anecdote regarding Winston Churchill;

"Following the British withdrawal in 1940 of Norway, it was proposed that the Royal Marines should all have these products to protect the exposed muzzles of their rifles from the sharp temperature changes for their next foray into Norway. A pharmaceutical company that specialized in manufacturing these types of product was given the job. In due course the first box was delivered for the Prime Minister's inspection. He looked at the box and muttered 'Won't do.' He drew a carton out of the box, shook his head and muttered 'Won't do' again. He opened the carton and took out a packet. 'Won't do,' he reiterated.
'What do you mean it won't do?' an aide asked him. 'They're long enough for the muzzles - ten and a half inches.'
'Labels,' came the cryptic reply.
'Labels?'
'Yes. I want a label for every box, every carton, every packet. saying "British. Size: Medium". That will show the Nazis, if they ever recover one of them, who's the master race"*
