short: i guess its not unrealistic at all and was part of the early type VII(B). the later boats didnt had this thing, so its ok to remove it (i think it looks better without it anyway)

just a few thoughts :hmm:
I think it's still called a 'JackStaff' in the U.S. Navy.. it's for the display special kind of Naval Pennant related to Squadron of the Naval Unit... or maybe the Rank of Commanding Officer onboard.. but it's not for the display of a National Flag...
