PETA: Pembela Tanah Air / Patriotic Defense Volunteer Force

[PETA: Pembela Tanah Air / Patriotic Defense Volunteer Force] image by Miles Li, 15 June 2008

This is a flag of PETA (Pembela Tanah Air / Patriotic Defence Volunteer Force) established in 1943 under Japanese Army's support to fight against Netherlands. The Islamic symbols and green colour are placed on Japanese sun-rising flag. I have not seen any other flag representing Islam and Shintoism together.

This image of the colour of Indonesia's WWII pro-Japanese Patriotic Volunteer Force (PETA) has been drawn based on this photo link: http://www.axishistory.com/fileadmin/user_upload/i/indonesian-volunteers.jpg. Note the reverse of the flag is shown on this image, in accordance with the Japanese (and Islamic) traditions.
