BLOODSTAINED FLAGS OF THE JAPANESE IN WWII!!! 🇯🇵 | American Artifact Episode 41

A flag is a symbol of victory when it's waving and a symbol of defeat when captured. During WWII, one of the most prized trophies in both Europe and the Pacific was the flag of the enemy. In this episode, we're pulling some captured flags from the archives of The Gettysburg Museum of History to show some of the variations that can be found in these souvenirs that were brought back from the Pacific. This episode was produced in partnership with The Gettysburg Museum of History.
