Florian, if it would help, that's better translated as an "aircraft recognition panel", at least that's the equivalent term in English. Best regards. Stephen

Oh thank you Stephen.
Unfortunatly, I ca'nt change the Titel
But everyone Know what I mean...

[Christoffer Ahlfors]

Not a clue!
What on earth is this?

[Gerhard Michel]

Hi Christoffer,

at the beginning of ww2 german tank crews used the Fliegersichttuch showing the german war ensign to mark their tanks to prevent beeing attacked by own aircrafts. observers at the ground couldn't see it.

[John Clarke]

Is that a wonky black cross on a white and red back ground?

[Gerhard Michel]

Yes, indeed, a black Hakenkreuz in the middle of a white circle on a red underground. The ensign was placed at the turret roof or the back side of the hull. Also other troops like infantry used Fliegersichttücher to mark the front line.
