It has a medical symbol and a capital T on coat of arms looking picture at top with word Tampere across the bottom. Is white with silver trim and shaped like a small flag with points on bottom. Just trying to figure out what it represents.

What uniforms did The Italian and German POW's wear in World War 2?
Most photos show Italian and German POW's wearing their uniforms. I'm sure many had to have new uniforms or clothes issued to them so they could work OR because they were captured in a desert uniform and needed warmer clothes. After Italy surrendered in Sept 1943, the Allies in Italy began to use some friendly Italians to haul supplies by mules or as translators. Many were issued British or American uniforms or clothes and some had a Green patch (about 4 inches & oval) with ITALY in white. This patch signified that they were friendly troops but were not soldiers who had security clearance.

What is a World War 2 military diamond shaped with a yellow circle and a bird inside circle with it's wings extended out of circle?
US Army Pin or Patch The Discharge Pin was a diamond shaped pin with an eagle inside a circle, just as you described. The patch was yellow embroidered on tan or brown. The pin was an all Brass pin. This was commonly referred to as the "ruptured duck" pin because the eagle in the insignia looks more like a duck. These pins or patches were awarded to soldiers who were discharged and it allowed them to wear the pin on their uniform and continue to wear their uniform until they were able to get home. This allowed them some relief from certain duty and orders. Link (scoll down to see Discharge Pin):http://custermen.com/Reference/Uniforms/Badges.htm#Medals&Insignia
What do the San Diego Padres have a backwards American flag on their jerseys?
Because in military use, ie. on uniforms, planes, tanks, etc, the flag is pictured so that the stars always lead (as if it were flying from a pole that you were carrying with you).The camouflage uniforms are a a military tribute and since the patch is on the right sleeve it is situated in reverse. If it was on the left sleeve it would look the way you are used to seeing it.
