What does the Confederate flag look like?
Red background... blue diagonal cross with stars inside the cross. The above description is of the Battle Flag carried by regiments in battle. Each regiment(Confederate or Union) carried one National Flag and one Regimental battle flag. The Union carried the Stars & Stripes and the regimental flag was usually Blue with an eagle for infantry. The Confederates carried their National Flag and a battle flag, which has been called the "Stars & Bars" or the "Rebel Flag". The National Flag of the Confederates States of America went through 3 variations. The 1st National Flag was an all white flag with upper corner having the Red square with the blue "X" cross with 13 stars---or a miniature of the battle flag. This flag had too much White in it and resembled a surrender flag. The 2nd National Flag was RED with one horizontal White bar that divided the flag into 3 equal stripes. The upper corner had a Blue field with 11 white stars in a circle. This flag resembled the Union Stars and Stripes from a distance. Again, caused confusion on the battlefield. The 3rd National Flag was a white flag with a wide Red vertical stripe on the outside edge. The upper corner again had the Rebel "Stars & Bars" emblem. The Battle Flag carried by the regiments varied greatly. Most were square instead of being rectangular. Many were the "Stars & Bars" as described above. This flag was typical for regiments in Virginia. The regiment would record their battle record by sewing on the names of the places where they fought. These were added in the red field or sometimes on the wide white borders along the edge or the cross. Many units created battle flags based on their State's flag or crest. Texas flags resembled the current Texas State flag. Battle flags of South Carolina had the Palmetto tree, Louisianna flags had the pelican. General Hardee adopted a flag for his regiments that was a dark Blue flag with a round White circle in the center and a wide White trim. This became known as the "Hardee flag" and was prevelant among units in what became the Army of Tenessee commanded by General Brag. These flags would have the units name in the white circle and their victories along the white border or on the blue field. Custermen
What is the value of a German Nazi flag from World War 2 original made of cloth?
Simple answer, it depends how large the flag is and how rare. If it is a plain red flag with a double-sided white circle with a swastika, it is very typical. Some of the smaller versions are actually more valuable because of demand. If it is about 3' x 5' it is worth about $100-150. A very large flag or banner up to 20' feet long, it could be worth $500 or more. These prices are for very good condition flags. Simple answer, it depends how large the flag is and how rare.

At the time Austria was not an independent country,however the Austrian people have always identifed with their flag of red, white, red. Upon Austrian independence this became their national flag. Because Nicola Marshall was from Austria it is only natural that he would be encourged to use those emblems and such from his native country. Nicola Marshall also helped design the uniforms for the Confederate army both enlisted and officers. If one looks at the style of uniforms then in use in mid 19th centry Austria and the confederate army they are both similar in colour and style as those that were used in Austria at the time. To answer the question the First National Confederate Flag or the Stars and Bars was heavly influenced by the current flag of Austria. Nicola simply added a blue canton [square] and the proper number of stars repersenting the newly birthed Confederate States of America.
