I would suggest getting the russian flag. Its really cool. Just get one with a bigger hammer and sickle.

I really like that german battle ensign though. I might get one if I get the chance.

And Scorpion, there should be NO doubt on the british flag. Its been the Union Jack ever since the UK was founded which was about the same time as american history starts... ::) ;D ;)


I think it's longer than that, isn't it?

My primary school history is a little rusty. I know it's a combination of the crosses of England (St george), Scotland (St Andrew) and Wales (St Who??).

As my grandfather used to say "it was way back when everyone was a Catholic".......lol

P.S. Aussie kids had to learn stuff like this in the '60's because we still liked Britain then..............lol. It wasn't just an island full of whinging Poms.  ;D ;)

I've (kind of) made it a mission to have the flags of all four major nations of World War II.


It just struck me that the French could really get uptight over this........................... :o ::) :-X

OUCH!!!........................you bitch ;D ;)

Check out the post showing the "battle flag". Probably something like that.

(Please, French people, this is aimed soley at the Vichy regime and their support for/collaboration with the Nazi's during WWII).

;D :D

You should get the Russian flag despite Stalins terrible war crimes we could not have won the war without them and we probably owe them quite a bit despite political tensions during the cold war.
