Thank, Mr. George Petersen

If not Mr. Petersen's discovery of the A H Standarte, we will probably never have the chance to see this wonderful Standarte.

LAH Standard on display ???

If not Mr. Petersen's discovery of the A H Standarte,
we will probably never have the chance to see this
wonderful Standarte.

GP is indeed a paragon of militaria collecting, but
I suspect the Russians eventually knew what they
had. How the KM RKF tb was put on the LAH DE eagle
in the early years remains an enigma. Maybe they
were found together in the 1945 ruins of Berlin?

Thanks Old Flags,

The workmanship of the AH Standarte is really something even just from the pictures alone. The same goes for your "embroidered rounndel" erwache !

They were fakes I presume? Are we talking about the Moscow ones?

I wonder if this one survived the war.

[oldflagswanted]

surviving DE's ???

I wonder if this one survived the war.

Nice period DE photo. However, few DE's
survived WW2, a couple dozen or so. But not
aware of "Klagenfurt" being among them.
