World War 2 and history fanatic, I've posted lots of content on many sites over the years like GameFront/Fileplanet but like many of the other great mods by other talented modders they are all lost to history now. If anyone out there has saved any of my work over the year I would appreciate it if you let me know as my hard drive died that it was all stored on, Thanks.

Description

Austria-Hungary did not have a common flag (a "national flag" could not exist since the Dual Monarchy consisted of two sovereign states). However, the flag of the ruling Habsburg Dynasty was sometimes used as a de facto national flag and a common civil ensign was introduced in 1869 for civilian vessels. Until 1918, the k.u.k. War Fleet continued to carry the Austrian ensign it had used since 1786; and the regiments of the k.u.k. Army carried the double-eagle banners they had used before 1867, as they had a long history in many cases. New ensigns created in 1915 were not implemented due to the ongoing war. At state functions, the Austrian black-yellow and the Hungarian red-white-green tricolor were used.
