The Reichswehr introduced a set of command flags with the H.Dv. 270 (Heeres-Dienstvorschrift 270, Army Regulations 270) of 24 March 1925. These flags were used on a lance shaft (60 × 80 cm) or as car flags (30 × 40 cm). They were used by the respective commanding officer only. Source: Dreyhaupt 2000 [drh00].
