Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This a small National Flag of Germany from WW2 constructed of cotton with multi-piece construction. It measures 15 inches tall x 21 inches long. The hang side has a staff pocket insert. The flag has a stitched trim on all sides and is on light construction but good quality. It is offered in very good condition and will display beautifully. It was captured by U.S. soldiers during World War Two and signed as follows:
TONY
KLEM
EDWARD. C. FORBIS
FOXHOLE
PAULEY
POLLACK
STEINERT
SWISSGOOD
SOTO
STARVAS
KING

We have not be able to identify which division or regiment in which these men served, but we did find Edward C Forbis ASN 35085929, who enlisted in May 1944 in Kentucky. Certainly a piece worthy of much more research!
