Hungarian Military Surplus Elenjaro Szakasz Infantry Flag New

Overview

The "elenjaro szakasz" displayed on this Hungarian Military Infantry flag translates to "Forefront Section" or "Leading Position" and distinguishes the unit for exemplary service. This military service could include action during combat, but also could also include superior performance among units of the HPA (Hungarian People's Army)'s massive construction and engineering corps. Among Eastern Bloc countries, Hungarian forces were known for providing engineering support to Warsaw Pact training exercises as well as direct military actions. Recently uncovered after a long period of storage, this Infantry Flag is a rare find perfect for any Cold War militaria collection. The Flag is manufactured to precise tolerances by strict government decree. Covered in rich embroidery, with a crafted wood rod for hanging.
