Szczecin, or Stettin, is another Polish city that used to be German. The
flag I saw, was striped six times blue and red with a coat of arms in the
hoist. The arms are a crowned eagle's head (?, or perhaps a griffin), in red
with yellow crown and beak, on a blue background. I guess the red and blue
colours of the stripes are taken from the arms. The flag I saw was long,
proportions 1 : 2 perhaps.
