Question: In the picture with the two men on the Preussen, what variation flag is that? I haven't seen one with the legs of the swastika ending like that.

Nice photos showing an intact Berlin.

John - this is the "Reich Service Flag" which was used by all public administrative authorities i.e on service vessels on all waterways etc.
