Photos Captured Flags - All Conflicts

[Xcalibur]

Its always been a big thing for the military to take photos of the enemies flags captured in all conflicts.
I find them really interesting and the amount of the interweb is astonishing.
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread here to collate as many as we can find.

Here are the first ten and many more will follow I am sure

[muck]

Just out of curiosity, did the North Vietnamese or Vietcong go into battle with streaming flags and all, line infantry style? If not, am I correct to assume that the Soviets and Japanese were the last to follow flag bearers into combat in WW2?

The Taliban weren't a thing until after the Soviet-Afghan War. I'd assume they're Mujahideen flags.
