Nice looking flag. Can you perhaps tell me why they found it pertinent to use the Balkan cross for this purpose instead of the swastika?

I only know they used the Balken Kreutz from September 1939 and on to some time in 1940 when the Swastika id flag was introduced. However the Swastika flag was discontinued in April 1941 and they went back to using the Balken Kreutz flag. Why it was discontinued have no idea Maybe someone knows.

There is probably some kind of truth to what you say, just don't know what
