Captured Vehicles & Battlefield Recognition Symbols

Brother in Arms · #25 01-27-2014, 02:48 AM

at least what I have seen from Serbia, Bosnia,Croatian and Kosovo photos

Colored cloth arm bands where used to identify units. Also head bands particularly with Muslim troops. ( also don't forget colored neck scarves used by ARVN troops in Vietnam and Khymer Rouge in Cambodia)

And of course symbols national and historic

Fluer di lis was common on anything Bosnian especially packs, pouches and carved into rifle stocks by the thousands. Also Half moons, and stars which are Islamic.

Serbian Cross in various iterations, the infamous 4 C's symbol, plain cross, shield with two headed eagle, cross with bulbs on the ends, 4 c's in sheild ect.
was put on eveyrthing and anything especially carved in rifle stocks.

A Checkered shield was common on Croatian items

These are just a few things I could think up at 4 AM.
