Panzer Ausfallflagge?

[warbuff]

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is well. I recently picked up a GI’s lot of items and this flag was among the group. I haven’t been able to positively Id it yet, but I have found a very similar flag. At first I thought it was a maritime signal flag, however the design does not match up with any that I have found. The only match that I have been able to find is the panzer Ausfallflagge. The dimensions of the flag roughly match those shown in the period picture but I haven’t been able to find any surviving examples to compare it to. I know the flag is original to the period, but I am unsure if I am correct in my assessment of what exactly this flag was used for. If anyone can help me identify this piece I would be very appreciative.

Kindest regards, Andrew
