![[flag of Chief of Navy Administration]](../images/p/pl-cna.gif)
by Dr.Andrew Rukkas, 23 Mar 1996
I am sending the set of seven Polish rank flags which were used before
and during the WWII. Please, take into account that the basic design of
those flags was not changed even during the period of Polish People's Republic
existence. The only
modifications were done because of the changes of state coat of arms
(white eagle was dicrowned).
First flag: The flag of Chief of Navy Administration (in Polish - "Szef
Kierownictwa Marynarki Wojennej")
Source: 'Wojsko Polskie, 1939-1945. Barwa i Bron'. - Warszawa,
1990. ("Polish Army, 1939-1945. Colors and Weapons")

![[General Anders flag]](../images/p/pl_cic-a.gif)
by Jack Kowalski, 13 Jun 1999
For those who are interested in military rank flags, I attach a gif
made from a photograph of the personal automobile flag used by General
Władysław Anders, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Army in the West until
1945. This photograph appeared in the May, 1999 edition (#166) of the French
periodical "Armes et Militaria". An anomaly: the eagle and zigzag embroidery
are plainly gold in the photograph, as opposed to the normal Polish silver.
Would anyone have information about this? Was such a general's flag used
by any Polish General, or just General Anders?
