In September 1933, Prussian Minister President Hermann Göring presented eight flags of this type to the "Landespolizeigruppe Wecke z.b.V.", a special unit of almost military character created by him, which received the traditional light green branch color of the Berlin Garde Jäger/Schützen. In December 1933 it was renamed "Landespolizeigruppe General Göring", then in April 1935, after its transfer to the Luftwaffe, to "Regiment General Göring". Among others, the 1st Bn. Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1 and the guard company at Carinhall continued to carry the flags.

The front and back are decorated with 4 eagle-and-swastika national emblems in each corner, also made of iron, with a hinged clasp in the center bearing the years 1941-1943 and a small latch on a chain. Both panels have interior frames for storing documents. Includes a letter from Oberleutnant A. Greiner to Government Building Councilor Luley at the Reich Air Ministry in Berlin dated March 1, 1944; unfortunately, the heavy seal on red cord is only loosely attached, which accompanied the hand-painted decorative sheets.
