Default Origin of Game Name
I was recently reading the book, "Berlin at War", and came across reference to a faction of people who were politically opposed to the National Socialist Party before and during WWII until they were pretty much eliminated by the national police. They were referred to as "Red Orchestra" in this book. Is this where the name of this game came from?
Sorry if this has been discussed in the past somewhere, but I have not readily seen if it has. Thanks.

Red Orchestra started its life as a single player mod focused around the Red Orchestra spy ring. That changed, but the name stuck.

I have wondered for a while where the name originated from.

Come to think of origins of this game, surely this is the 10th year of Red orchestra. Is there going to be anything special for the 10 year anniversary ?

What I've wondered about is the origin of the TWI logo. Is it a d-pad?
