So what's the story behind pic related (Bosnian Kingdom, banner of the Kotromanić dynasty) ?
Is it just a ripoff of >>3360494 ?
Or is there deeper story behind it?

>>3362398
The fleur de lys are meant to represent the Lilium bosniacum.

>>3362428
Really? Isn't it vice versa?

>>3362398
the fleur de lys perhaps symbolic of Lilium bosniacum, which is a native lily to the area (as anon stated)
The diagonal white line is supposed to symbolize the sword of Stephen Tvrtko I, first king of bosnia

Referring to the 2nd National but

>The first official use of the "Stainless Banner" was to drape the coffin of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson as it lay in state in the Virginia capitol, May 12, 1863.

>>3361935
So where did the flag come from if it may not have been an actual political entity?

When Confederate troops used captured US belts, they generally flipped the buckles upside down so they read "SN" as in Southern Nation.

>>3360246
Correct answer.

>>3365944
You're not even trying.
>blah blah pol get out reee
But that flag isn't even the most aesthetic, fucking kreigsflagge is. And the third Reichs kreigsflagge is just a shittier kaiserlich kreigsflagge.

>>3371912
While in terms of speaking for flags from shitty leaders, I think that the Nazi flag is kinda nice in its simplicity, kinda like the Soviet flag.


That being said you're 110% correct.
