Notes | Third Reich vehicle identification or recognition banner or flag, WW2 Third Reich vehicle identification or recognition banner or flag, WW2 From collection of Stan O’Callaghan, “A” Troop, 29th Battery, 6 Field Artillery- El Alamein, 1942 This German swastika banner was captured on 24th October 1942, the morning after the beginning of the Battle of El Alamein. It bears the signatures of the men of 29 Field Battery, 6 NZ Field Regiment and includes the signatures of significant New Zealand and Allied Forces leaders - General Bernard Montgomery, Commander of the 8th Army in the Western Desert, Brigadier Stephen Weir 2 NZ Division and General Bernard Freyberg G.O.C. 2NZEF. The banner was kept as a souvenir kept by the donor’s uncle, Stan Allen O’Callahan, “A” Troop, 29th Battery, 6 NZ Field Artillery. Our donor was given the flag in the mid-1950s by his uncle, Stanley O’Callaghan of Christchurch, when he was about 7 years old. He remembers his uncle telling him some tales of his WW2 experiences which included being a driver for Freyberg at about the time this flag was acquired. Vehicle identification banners were secured to the roofs and bonnets of German vehicles in the earlier stages of the Second World War to provide identification to friendly aircraft. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
