Last fall I saw the body of a local celebrity, a female Judge- who was laid out in a very formal type of Red Dress, and she had a blonde wighat. It should be noted that various shades of Red were associated with- in the German armed forces color scheme: the Judiciary, Justice officials, Artillery, the General Staff. The linkage of Red to warfare and blood is from the planet Mars. I am not sure how it linked up with the judicial arm. ( a Judicial officer would have red piping on his collar tabs, epaulets, etc- rest of the uniform would be field gray,.) I have heard the term Red Mass applied to a religious mass honoring the Legal profession- nothing to do with Communists or communism! there may be some connection to the German Army"s use of Carmine Red for Judicial officials.
