Original German WWII Army Camp Flag Captured and Signed by Members of U.S. Army VII Corps - 39" x 69"
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally original authentic German WWII Wehrmacht Heer Army Camp Flag, measuring a nice displayable 39" x 69". It has a nice halyard sewn inside the header, with steel clips at either end for easy attachment. It feels like it is a cotton / wool blend, and is double sided, with white circles with dyed swas's sewn onto each side.
This example was captured in the field by members of the U.S. Army VII Corps, and then had the names of numerous individuals written on the flag, apparently by several different people, possibly at different times, based on differences in color and penmanship style. Towards one side of the flag the following locations are listed, followed by a list of battle underneath:
MEXICO
SCOTLAND
ENGLAND
FRANCE
BELGIUM
HOLLAND
GERMANY
CHECKOSLOVAKIA
AUSTRIA
"THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE"
"THE RUHR RIVER"
"THE RHINE RIVER"
"CENTRAL GERMANY"
There is no specific unit information written on the flag, just lots of names. Included with the flag was a print out the U.S. Army VII Corps, indicating the many units that were a part of it during WWII deployment. On the print out, the "666th Field Artillery Battalion (155mm Howitzer) is highlighted in orange, but we do not know if this means that the flag was from this particular unit.
A very nice USGI Captured German flag, ready research and display!
