Two more Museum examples

Two more examples; one with the 'large' unit number and the other with the 'small' unit number. The large unit number is for another Guards 'Katyusha' Regiment and the small unit number is for a Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment.

There's one soldier carring a nice sword too...
Those banners are original one or replica made for the parade?

They use the originals in the parade; they have more than enough unit flags to get away with that.

Great photo, thanks for posting it!

A great war time shot showing soldiers honoring the Guards flag...and a postwar photo of a soldier in front of a Guards unit flag.

Re: Guide to WWII Guards Flags

Two photos from the 2010 parade showing original Guards flags being used...the first photo gives a very good indication of the color of the thread used for the lettering.

Re: Guide to WWII Guards Flags

Hi Jeff,

I think you are correct.

Not from "Guards" unit flags, here are a few rare images of Lenin with Stalin from unit flags. The first two are from state security unit flags awarded postwar and the third is from a tank unit during the war that had a 'field made' unit flag given to them by a local Komsomol; the third flag was never in my hands, so sorry for poor quality shot.

Re: Guide to WWII Guards Flags

Back to Guards unit flags...

For a Guards Army or Guards Corps the actual Guards insignia was embroidered on the unit flag itself. Here is a close up shot of that insignia.
