This is a 150cm x 250cm (~ 4.5' x 8'), cotton/wool bunting, printed example with an "Eagle-M" (Kriegsmarine) acceptance stamp and maker mark to Curt Braeutigam in Plauen, Vogtland. Condition is 99% and I'm going to guess it was liberated, unissued from a Plauen warehouse around late April, 1945. What makes this stunning flag even better is that it has been marked to commemorate 1st Platoon, C Company, 691st Tank Destroyer Battalion (a non-divisional, M-36 TD unit in Patton's 3rd Army). All of the white areas of the flag have been inscribed...
Within the swastika arm voids we have the names/ranks/home state of each M-36 crew... Around the circle the NCOs and officers... along the stripes the countries/locations/campaigns... the divisions supported (8+)... the names of each platoon member killed. This is simply the best combat unit souvenir flag I've encountered -- in both condition and content.
$500, shipped (in the US). Please PM direct if you are interested. Thanks for looking!
