    Of course it is a joke - I'm just surprised that this type of thing can be on Ebay...besides, there is no picture (of course, it would look just like their current flag).

    Ah, I get it now...I read the Description - A French Battle Flag is a plain white flag (for surrendering).

    How can a person paying 15,000$ for that be allowed to live?!?
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

    I'm sure the flag is owned by a nice old German man.

    He or she could have made a better effort. Why should three entire battalions of elite troops start hiding in 1939 when the French didn't even surrender until the summer of 1940? And three battalions seems a bit to large a force to give up for a nurse, a platoon or two I could belive but not thousands of soldier.

    It's obviously a fake which someone created in the garage with a spare sheet and a stick. Datajack is right. The person who bid $15,000 needs to be euthanised before he can contaminate the gene pool.
