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 has been posted here of such a banner.
