Australian soldiers have reportedly flown a Nazi swastika flag from their vehicle while on operations in Afghanistan.
The photograph shows the large swastika emblem hoisted over an Australian military vehicle.
The photo, obtained exclusively by the ABC, was taken in August 2007.
Two separate Defence sources have identified a particular soldier as the individual who took the flag to Afghanistan.
One Defence source who was aware of the flag being flown in Afghanistan in 2007 said it was a “twisted joke”, rather than evidence or an expression of genuine neo-Nazism.
The source claimed the flag was up for a “prolonged period”.
This comes as the Australian soldiers have previously accused of committing war crimes in the war-torn country.
