HF Gods and Generals question

[JackB]

I don't know if this has been covered, but I have long been wondering about the opening credits for Gods and Generals.
I can't identify all of the flags/colors in the opening credits. I'm especially interested in one that seems to be a Michigan regiment looks like 2nd Michigan Infantry . Anyone here have an answer?

Can anyone answer the question?

Try this. I think it has all of them listed in order.

It doesn't specify which Michigan unit.

It doesn't specify which Michigan unit.

The closest list I could find that names hardly any of them. I'll post again if I find something that lists individual units.

I see 20th Maine, 2nd Wisconsin, 57th New York, 11th Corps flag, 28th Massachusetts, and 12 NYSM. I cannot read two US regimental flags. It is the 2nd Wisconsin seen clearly in the credits.

At 4:20, appears to be Fifth Michigan Infantry Color:

If I am reading it right, it is the 5th Regiment Michigan Vols. flag. there were some flags I could not see clearly. @huskerblitz you saw it better than I did!

Thanks for the identification! IMHO, the credits with the flags are the best part of the movie. It goes sadly downhill after that!
