Very interesting. Does anyone know what happened with the Blood Flag after the war?

The last section of the book has a small footnote saying that it was sold to an American dealer after the war. where and who it went to. no one knows.Comment

Lets hope it pops up oneday safe and sound!!Comment

I heard somewhere that it's owned by a German collector. I think that it was lost with the bombing of the Brownhouse. Grimminger was asked by US Investigators about it and he said that he had no idea of it's location.Comment

The Deutschland Erwasche book states that it is with an American collector. the book was written many years ago and maybe Erich is right.Comment

Mil, the bottom line is I don't think it will ever turn up either way.Comment

I had this illustration of Grimminger and his flag done many years ago for a book.
I think the artist (Paul Hannon) made an excellent job of it.Comment

what a fantastic illustration.
I read that for the blood flag, there is no flag-carrying belt used.
Whats the correct term for that?Comment

Korrekt...............no bandolier with the blood flag.Originally posted by Military View Post
It was carried over the shoulder in the old, traditional way.
That painting (the original) now hangs on my wall..................Comment
