"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
I wonder what ever happened to this Heinkel He-162 "Volksjaeger" that was displayed in Hyde park, in London. (AP Photo)
....and these captured German standards..a Moscow Museum??
Some great photos thanks for posting the link
update = = =
Maybe this was the fate of the He-162: ..........On 9 November 1945 during a demonstration flight from RAE Farnborough one of the fin and rudder assemblies broke off at the start of a low-level roll causing the aircraft to crash into Oudenarde Barracks,Aldershot killing Marks and a soldier on the ground.

I collect, therefore I am.
Nothing in science can explain how consciousness arose from matter.
Nice photos! Thanks for sharing the link with us! I think most of these banners ended up in the Great Patriotic War Museum in Moscow...
Thank you for posting this, truly memorable images indeed.

cool link that was ace! i liked the Japanese ones the best! the America in the 1970's link at the bottom is also cool to see!
I saw the banners in a exhibit that came through Memphis Tn. several years ago, the same company that arranged the Titanic touring exhibits. The theme of the show was The war through Russian eyes. A good portion of the exhibit was items taken from Berlin over 100 Standards, items from the Reich Chancellery and the bunker , items from Hitler's apartment, personal items from Goering and other high ranking German officials. I would love to see it again.
