2 Flak Trumpet Banenrs from the same unit
I recently had the opportunity to photograph my Flak Regiment 26 trumpet banner with another one from the same
unit, as I think to get two from the exact unit is a fairly rare chance these days. The other banner belongs to a friend
of mine here in Melbourne, so I did these photos a couple of days back.
The banners were originally brought back by a British soldier in 1945, who found them in Bremen, and he brought four
back with him, and his family sold the four of them to Helmut Weitze in 1990, I was fortunate enough to be able to
obtain one, and my friend has one of them too. I don't know where the other two wound up, but they were also sold
by Weitze in Germany.
