Historically incorrect Mongolian flag?

[Admiral Fischer]

This flag represented Mongolia for the two-decades long lifespan of the Hearts of Iron franchise.

Then I randomly stumbled upon this picture in last month.

It is very apparent to me that the Mongolians themselves have radically different idea from the Swedish historical game developers on how to draw their former national flag. This impression is reinforced by what I found from the Constitutional Court of Mongolia website.

However I'm still unsure about this 'impression' because I don't speak Mongolian language. I would welcome any clarification from forumites.

A month has passed since the posting and still wondering why would someone even down vote this kind of stuffs.

Poland, Italy, Ussr, even Tuva all have wrong flags. What do you expect?

This is what I found out:

"Erroneous flag of the Mongolian People's Republic with an unusual blue Soyombo which appears in several western sources. This contradicts Mongolian sources, contemporary depictions, and photographic evidence of the real 1924 flag in use at the time."

It's the correct Civil Flag, aka the normal flag. The State Flag and Naval Ensign, aka one of the special ones, had the crown.

Also why's the Polish flag incorrect? The last nation I will only reply Tannu What?

Poland, USSR and Tuva all have the flags that are real, but weren't used during the time period of the game.

This applies to the releasable SSRs as well, but Paradox probably used those flags because they are easier to tell apart
