I once heard that Prien's wife gave him a mauve scarf of hers, and that he always wore that scarf on patrol. Can anyone confirm this.

Thanks

I've heard this story before as well - I'll be damned if I can remember the source though!

God is in the details Dan. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that saying but, you're right it would be a good detail to incorporate into a story.
