I have checked our first printing (which explicitly states "FIRST EDITION" on the copyright page) and the symbol on the armband is definitely a "?" mark. The face of the cat has the narrow mustache associated with Hitler and it is wearing a military commander's hat. The cat standing nearby is wearing an overcoat, dark glasses, and has a pipe in his mouth.
