I think it would be great in the Captain America movie if, in at least one war-zone scene, they had the Kilroy logo and slogan "Kilroy Was Here" scribbled on some rocks or a burnt-out ruin. For me, that would go a long way in establishing the WWII atmosphere. I read once that a paranoid Hitler assigned a special unit to hunt down the elusive super GI/spy Kilroy, and there was even a kill-on-sight order (them pesky Americans behind enemy lines were putting this graffiti everywhere). Nazis obviously had no sense of humor, but I think it is amazing that Kilroy was in real life what Captain America could have been. The people making the movie could learn a lot from this. (A personal fantasy of mine is finding a picture of Captain America and Bucky, waiting for nightfall/badguys behind enemy lines; while Cap keeps lookout, a bored Bucky is doodling "Kilroy was Here" somewhere cheeky, like on a tank. That would be Priceless!) Here is a link- http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A508277

Lots of stories and operations popped out during the war. The mysterious Foo Fighters that both American and Nazi pilots and airmen were reporting during their flights. A counterfeit scheme or poison cigarette scheme Nazi had, Philadelphia experiment, Nazi rocket planes, capturing a Nazi Uboat, Nazi heavy water experiments, Japan explosive balloons, etc. There was a book, The man who never was, about a British operation where they used a dead body to leak false documents to Nazi command in Italy. That Kilroy story was interesting and I like reading about it. I just hope it's not one of those internet lies to fool a large number of people.

Kilroy pre-dates the internet by several decades. I probably saw my first Kilroy drawing 50 years ago, so it's no urban legend. It would be cool to set the era in the movie with just such a detail.
