WW2 Theatre Made Polish War Flag

An extremely interesting theatre made Polish war flag which has been crudely constructed from older flags, although the flag resembles a post war Republic of Poland war flag from the 1956 - 90 era ( having no crown on the eagles head) it was brought back by a British serviceman at the end of WW2 and discovered many years later in the bottom of his kit bag along with a 48 star American flag.
This flag may have been used by Polish troops fighting under Soviet control in the later stages of the war.
There are old repairs and heavy moth/wear damage present especially to the red section which is more delicate than the white half due to being a lighter/ thinner material
Size 36 inches x 24inches. 100% real cotton stitching.
I wish I knew the full history behind this amazing flag.
Some of the photo`s have reflective glare which gives the impression the material & stitching is brighter than actually is in natural light.
Would display well when framed.
