Equipment for the larger FLAK search light. These coal rods was used instead of light bulbs, in the larger search lights. Theys where used in pairs. When electrical current was turned on, a small lightning was created between the rods. This produced a very intense light.

Bob,

That is a beautiful tunic. How about some closeups?

Snoopy,

I have never seen one of those devices before! Any information on the brightness of the flare?

[Snoopy]

Hi Paul

The only additional information I have, is the information on the data label.

Hello All,

Here are a couple of other Flak Regiment items, The trumpet banner is from Flakregiment 3 and the bronze eagle on granite block for is from Flakregiment 12.

Regards, Shaneos3

[Paul R]

Great stuff Shane!! I love the trumpet banner!

[shaneos3]

Thanks Paul,

The Flakregiment Trumpet Banner has the earlier heavy style silver bullion fringing and has survived the years quite well. Here is a shot of the reverse.

[shaneos3]

And a couple more shots of the Luftwaffe Flakregiment bronze eagle.

[Paul R]

Great photo Larry! That man saw a lot of action. Any information on the back?

[LarryT]

Thanks Paul.

Here is writing on the back.

This photo is from an album showing II/Flak Rgt.11 (mot) in action in Poland and the Ukraine.

Lots of action, medals, vehicles, uniforms, graves, weapons photos. One of the best albums in my collection.

Cheers,

Larry
