flag photos ???

Hello abigor:
Back in 1970 I obtained my first Third Reich Flag. It was a
50x85cm RKF, captured by a WW2 veteran US Army colonel.
His 244mm Artillery unit shelled the Brest U-boat base until
their surrender. Since then, until 2010, I collected trooped
unit flags of all nations and periods. See more flag photos
at http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=632803

Very interesting photos. Nice to
see a podium banner type hanging out
of the banks window. Likewise, the RKF
hiked up over the speakers rostrum.

Nuremberg Stadium flag poles ...

mass produced image surprisingly.
Those big Nuremberg Stadium flag poles, with
swastika wreath tops, were pretty cool looking.
In 1991 I visited the Nuremberg grounds, where
I was almost eaten alive by guard dogs! OFW
All that was left of those poles was the base plates.

They sure are! They make the flags look that much more impressive. Youre lucky you got to visit at that time before major renovations, that must have been an impressive sight! And the 3rd Army emblem is cool, just screams history! Thanks a lot for sharing those pics
The photo I have doesn't have a date unfortunately. I have seen a lot of similar photos to it, but never captioned with a date.

Here's a vehicle recognition flag draped over a horse.

more Zeppelin Field flag views...

"The Zeppelin Field ...was one of Albert Speer's
first works for the Nazi party ...The grandstand
is famous as the building that had the swastika
blown from atop it in 1945, after Germany's fall
in World War II. The name "Zeppelinfeld" ...refers
to the fact that in August 1909 Ferdinand Graf von
Zeppelin landed with one of his airships (LZ6) in
this location. From 1947 to 1995 the Nurnberg
American High School, a DoDDS facility, used the
field (called 'Soldiers Field') for high school
football and American football practice..."
