Flags - period correct or not

[cliff]

This is a bit hard as it depends on two things.

The first is will many people get really upset over the "CORRECT" flag at the time a vehicle was used by the armed forces of ANY country. For example do we use the WW2 German flag with a WW2 German army vehicle or the current German one so we don't upset those folk who got hurt during WW2 by the German Army. I know the swastika is banned in many parts of Europe so am talking mainly of the black Cross(es) etc placed on vehicles and flags.

The Second is how "TRUE" and "AUTHENTIC" you want your vehicle to be. Are you 100% 'every bolt must be exact' or are you 'A close copy is OK'.

Now if your vehicle is restored to 100% original as used by the SADF at the time depicted then the period flag is the way to go, but I'd be sensitive to where and when I publicly displayed the flag itself.

Hope this helps
