The commodore flag is a white swallowtail with a black Iron Cross and central white disc bearing the company emblem in blue, based on the German naval flag. The small N755 reproduction substitutes a blue couped cross for the emblem, which Rosanoski says prompted a misunderstanding. Mertens’s cited flag for Commodore Leopold Ziegenbein appears all blue, including cross and emblem, and is described as awarded only once, in 1933. The differing evidence is retained.
Keep the explicit scope label independent; no alias or company identity is inferred.
