FrisianDude:
Oh very nice Druzhina.
Edit; hey, swastikas in panel two of folio 28. Didn't expect those.
Al_Mansur:
Thanks a lot Druzhina :D
But where did you find all these big pictures ? I have looked for months for this, without success :mrgreen:
Druzhina:
Al_Mansur,
How is more important than where.
Be prepared to browse all the way through dozens of pages of Google results. Do Google image searches based on images found and by description; to find pages with more images or larger or coloured versions. Then repeat. (Note that sites that display their images by Java or Flash might not show up in an image search so the text search is still needed). Once found the images may have to be stitched together from screenshots of parts given by a Java or Flash zoom.

sites of wargaming interest
P.S.
There are also swastikas in another panel. A symbol also used in heraldry e.g. by the Finnish royal house.
