Admiral

[Admiral] [Proposal] 1:1
Adopted: 1944 ?
Abandoned: 8th May 1945
Source: Notes from Ottfried Neubecker collection, thanks to Emil Dreyer. See notes by the civil ensign.

The flag of an admiral is white square with blue cross (width 1/8 of hoist).


Vice-admiral

[Vice-admiral] [Proposal] 1:1
Adopted: 1944 ?
Abandoned: 8th May 1945
Source: Notes from Ottfried Neubecker collection, thanks to Emil Dreyer. See notes by the civil ensign.

The flag of a vice-admiral is equal to the admiral's flag, defaced with a blue trefoil in the first quarter. The trefoil (trolist), also called the cross of Zvonimir (Croatian king Zvonimir-Demetrius, ruled 1075-1089) is a marking of the armed forces of the Independent State of Croatia (also used during Austria-Hungary in Domobranstvo). On admirals' and generals' flags it is used to denote rank. The admirals' flags follow the model (in use by most of navies at the time) where more markings denote lesser rank. The flags of generals use another model (used mostly by armies in Europe during World War II, also) where more markings on the flag denote higher rank.
