Description
Square flag with concentric fields of equal width of black-white-red. On red square, silver Nazi national eagle, with swastika in its talons. Below the swastika, the words Militärbefehlshaber.
Norman Martin, March 1998
It should perhaps be noted that a Militärbefehlshaber was the regional
governor of the occupied territories (see also my Third Reich Factbook) that were under the control of the Wehrmacht:
- Militärbefehlshaber Belgien und Nordfrankreich (in Brüssel)
- Militärbefehlshaber Frankreich (in Paris)
- Militärbefehlshaber Saloniki-Ägäis
- Militärbefehlshaber Serbien (in Belgrad)
- Militärbefehlshaber Südgriechenland
A Militärbefehlshaber was a military governor (a general) of the occupied territories that were under military control (the ones I listed above), that is he was head of the civilian administration, police etc. Whereas a Wehrmachtsbefehlshaber was —if I remember correctly— the higher military commander of the military units in a certain area (regardless of whether this area was controlled by a Militärbefehlshaber or not), for example the Netherlands or Hungary.
Marcus Wendel, 10 and 13 July 2000
The list of Militärbefehlshaber is wrong and incomplete.
