This article is VERY poorly written. looks to have been from a nonnative english speaker[edit]

The link to the soviet comamnder is wrong, the commander rferred to there was the traitor Vlasov who worked FOR the nazis.

I grant a very controversial issue, but we cannot forget that one mans traitor is another mans freedom fighter. Only one unit fought under the true Russian flag in WW2, that of Vlasov's.

Vlasov really worked for nazis, but not at the and of war. It was this Vlasov.

"true Russian flag" Russian flag has evolved throughout the ages and no regimes have the exclusive right to define what is 'true'. Besides what's the point of fighting under the 'true flag' when these people are fighting alongside the enemies who have the explicit intentions of committing genocide against their own kin? Stop the false relativism and moral equivalence.

ROA flag[edit]

User:Buidhe is there any reason you reverted my edit without a reason? its the flag they used NorthTension (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NorthTension General practice is to only use flags that readers are likely to recognize and avoid obscure ones that few readers will be familiar with. See MOS:FLAGS. (t · c) buidhe 02:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

theres nothing on that page saying it shouldnt be used on military related because its obscure, if anything it says:

It may in some narrow military history circumstances be appropriate to use flags, as they were used at the time being written about, including naval ensigns, provided that the flags are (as usual) accompanied at first occurrence by their country (or more narrow) names—our readers are not expected to be military historians. An example might be an in-depth exploration of a famous battle involving numerous forces with known flags; such flags might be used in summary tables to make it clearer which force was being referred to for a particular detail.

this is literally what i did, if this is such an issue to you why would you not just switch to the other flag they also used or their emblem? NorthTension (talk) 13:33, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In this article, none of the flags in the infobox provide any further information than the text, and I therefore support the removal of all of them. the ROA flag is particularly useless because it is not a commonly used or recognizable one. (t · c) buidhe 17:52, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
