Regimental colours

Viktor Lomancov, 12 Aug 2000 |
(inscription is fictional for example sake!)
The regimental colour was adopted 21, November, 1942. Ratio - 1:1.
Colours (regimental, divisional etc) were standardized in the Armed
Forces (similar in the Army,
Aviation and Navy):
- Obverse - red field, a red star yellow
bordered and the full name and number of a military unit below.
Each unit has its own inscription.
- Reverse
- red field, a gold hammer and sickle and the motto
«For our Soviet Motherland» (За
нашу
советскую
родину! |
Za naŝu Sovetskuû Rodinu);
All the Colours were red with gold fringe and square in form.
(Some soviet artists drew this colour without
inscriptions — on post cards, post stamps etc. — together with flags of
the Navy and Air Force,
which were real flags). Somebody decided that it is a flag of army…
but that is not right.)

There are plenty of photos on the Soviet regimental colours,
but the best one I have found is in Soviet Soldier, Military
Publishing House, USSR Ministry of Defence, March 1990, p.8.
(Not to be confused with Soviet Military Review!) The photo
shows the reverse side of the colour (with hammer and sickle),
and at the same time reveals the outline of the red star at the
obverse side.

Guard’s colors
The Colours (banners) of Guards were a little different: the portrait
of V. I. Lenin, word "USSR" ("CCCP") on one side, the small star with
hammer-sickle in its center and a motto on other side. The mottos were
different. The units which become Guards in WWII had the motto: «Death
to german invaders!».
