Steve,
My 4x4 Infantry flag is very fragile, you are absolutely correct, the weight of the embroidery can tear the silk if not handled carefully.

My first flag was a Prussian Line Infantry white .
I think from the late flag collector Ben Weed (Old Flags Wanted)
via S. Wolfe
mine had been "netted" but not by the Germans
mine was like a fine fabric similar to ladies stockings if any ladies still wear them
the flag had been sent off for cleaning by an expert
somewhere I have a photo of the flag in a 4 X 4 with the cleaning solution
after that the flag was in great condition

Telegraph 6
It turns out that the Russians captured flags of all telegraph battalions (TB 1-6), except one Saxon (TB 7)?
Jager Batl 4
Likely, there could be flags of Jäg.B 1, Jäg.B 2, Jäg.B 3 and Jäg.B 6, right?

Regards, Alexander

Thanks!

As I understand it, to the Soviet Union were taken all or most all flags from Koenigsberg, Breslau, Stettin and some from Berlin and Potsdam.
Also is another list that was compiled in Germany in February 1944. According to this list, 6 standards and 2 banners burned down in Hannover in 1943.
Regards, Alexander.
