Here is your chance to pick up an extremely impressive state service flag. Minor wrinkling from storage but it should smooth out easily. Header is complete with 5 of the 6 original applied clips for hanging. Signs of age and wear throughout with tons of period repairs from fraying in the wind from use. “Paderborn April 1 1945” written on the header by the veteran who captured and brought it home. The city of Paderborn saw armor combat due to the proximity of Panzer training schools to the city, and 3 King Tigers were destroyed in the fighting. US 3rd Armored Division Major General Maurice Rose was killed in an ambush outside of Paderborn on March 30, and was the highest ranking US officer to be killed in action on the Western European Front. Roughly 12 feet long. Overall a fantastic example with tons of history that will display great with other items from the period!
