                    Interesting comments, thanks. I agree two different flags.
                    Recent dug is rectangular, period photo example is square.

That apparently is due to the nature of the soil (more sandy)in the Stalingrad area. Dug items in the condition of the posted items are from the areas where the soil is more of a clay nature that protects the items against rust. They also have a lot of paint remaining. J

                        I wonder . . . so if your pennant came from a Stalingrad battlefield, why isn't it "totally gone and rusted up - with no or very very little paint remaining, rusted and pitted all over", as Jacques would make us believe it should be?

                            But I imagine condition also dependent on how these items have been exposed before recovery. I can’t say if any of these pennants were buried and recovered from being literally dug up. I’ve been to numerous battlefield sites where things have been rusted away which haven’t been buried.

                                Flak Unit Pennant

                                Does anyone recall a metal vehicle pennant for I/Flak Regiment 30 that was advertised on the Flags table about 3 years ago. The seller said it was dug up in the Baltic states/Courland area.
