<HTML>Hi John R.,
I think you answered your own question, probaly passed on from father to son. Do not forget the Battle Ensign was still very popular at that time in a large part of the population. They considered the Weimar Republic illegitimate and the Third Reich strictly an inter-regnum to an eventual return of the Monachy. Over the years I used to fly one on my sailboat on May 31st. each year. My British friends will know why. For those of you not remembering, 86 years ago on 5/31-6/1/1916 the Battle of Jutland took place. :-) Rgds, RB</HTML>
