The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for. |

The flag of Poglavnik (Leader) is armorial banner of Croatia with Ustasha emblem in first field and border in Croatian national colours. According to the decision the flag is hoisted in Poglavnik's office, his lodging if he is there and carried beside him in all ceremonial occasions. Weather it be important or not, it seems that the silver wattle in the first field is "twisted" in the opposite direction in comparison to the state flag.
