Obverse: A square light blue flag, at the center a Luftwaffe eagle, at each corner gold crossed batons surrounded by a gold wreath, the border gold decorated by gold swastikas. The reverse switches the position of wreathed batons and eagle (eagles at corners, batons at center). Introduced 1941. Illustrated in Flaggenbuch 1939, pl. VIIa (after 1941), Davis 1975, p. 142 (black and white) and [Roger James] Bender, The Luftwaffe, p. 287.

Images sent by Albert Kirsch, 6 Aug 2006
The attached images were sent to me for identification; the sender did not make it clear whether these were two flags or obverse and reverse of one (which I suspect). She said they were from the Battle of the Bulge. I gather they are regimental colors of some sort, but have no other knowledge of this sort of thing. Can anyone help?

The pictures show both sides of the regimental colors of German Airforce (Luftwaffe) units until 1945.
