: "Stars and bars" refers to the official flag of the Confederacy during the (U.S.) War Between the States, sometimes known as the Civil War. This flag is different from the Battle Flag.
Maybe that is where it originally came from. But do you think it might have been current in U.S. movies from the 1940s because America was at war, many men were in the military and their various decorations for service and indications of rank sometimes had stars and bars in them?
