    Any photos of auto fender pennants?

    I'd like to see some period photos of Wehrmacht auto fender pennants - just run-of-the-mill, lower ranking types (I just picked up a Luftwaffe pennant). I did a search here and found very few. Anyone care to share theirs?

    Thanks.

    Hi Scott

    I will start the ball rolling with a few pics.
    First one showing an officer's pennant.

          Thanks Larrister - great shots I like the last one in what looks like a glass-enclosed frame. Is that a Chord automobile in the first photo?

          Anyone else?

                How beautiful... though I am not a LC collector, the photo had a stunning effect on me!

                I will have to contribute...

                        Larry, #4 is very interesting to me... Have never had an Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres flag in my collection. The PKW appears to have some Taktische Zeichen on the fender... Something like Pz.Jg. This confuses me (just because I am ignorant of flags!).

                        Here's GFM flag of Manstein.

                          Hello Akira

                          The Pkw and driver belonged to 14 Pak Kompanie Inf. Regiment 1. The photo was taken at the 1 Inf. Rgt. garrison at Konigsberg.

                          I guess the Oberbefehlshaber des Heers pennant would more likely be seen on the Commander's personal staff car. I cannot offer an explanation as to why it is on an ordinary Pkw.

                          Cheers

                            Looking at <a href="http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121379">Scott's thread in Flags forum</a>, this might be interesting to Scott I thought.

                              Hello

                              Here is a pennant that I don't know much about. It looks like the same anti-tank tactical symbol that is on the fender. Is this common?

                              Cheers
