The Prussian Landespolizei flag was not only used by Polizei (Police) units but also by Heer (Army) and Luftwaffe (Air Force) units formed when Landespolizei battalions were transferred to the Wehrmacht (Armed Forces) as whole units, for example the I Battalion of Infanterie-Regiment 77 (26. Infanterie-Division) or two
battalions of Regiment General Göring (later I. / Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1).
An example of such a banner in use has been posted at this webpage.
