AB  - Tropicalizations of Grassmannians resp. flag varieties parametrizing (flags of) linear spaces have been studied intensely and reveal rich combinatorial structure. Linear degenerations of flag varieties provide ways of interpolating between products of Grassmannians and flag varieties. Tropical versions of these have been introduced recently, but their combinatorial description and computation remains a challenge. We consider a particular case which allows the use of matroidal methods, namely linear degenerate short flag varieties parametrizing tuples of linear spaces such that a projection of one is contained in the other. Their fibers turn out to be linear spaces themselves under mild assumptions, which allows a comprehensive combinatorial description of their tropicalizations, and accordingly, of tropicalizations of linear degenerate short flag varieties.
