Simple question:

Did German panzers carry banners or small pennants/pennons (tied to antenna wires?) during battle, if so, where can I find examples? Or would it be a hazard to carry small flags due to camouflage issues?

Thanks.

AFAIK, panzers were not equipped with banners. The turret numbers were large enough to be seen from some distance.
