NSDAP Pennant

Product Description: This NSDAP Pennant is an interesting original piece. It is made of a typical, thin cotton fabric, which retains original bright red color. The edges are finished with machine stitching. The hoist end has a narrow white header, which extends beyond the corners of the pennant; this may have been one of a string of similar pennants, of the type used to decorate German streets during Nazi rallies and parades. Both sides of the pennant feature a machine stitched white fabric roundel with a printed black German swastika emblem. The fabric is bright white, with almost no age toning; the printed swastikas show a bit of fading, perhaps from having been cleaned in the past- or maybe they were made this way. There are no tears, holes, stains or other damage, and the pennant is complete and sound. This NSDAP Pennant is a nice displayable size, and makes for an eye-catching display object. It’s in excellent condition.

Historical Description: During the Third Reich and WWII, a wide variety of flags and pennants were used on German cars and vehicles. In the military, vehicle flags and pennants were used to indicate branch or rank, or specific command roles. The various civilian organizations also had vehicle flags and pennants for members of their organization or to denote the vehicles of officers, leaders, or people in specific roles. Even political leaders had their own flags, which were often rank specific. Some of the flags, especially military ones, were simply printed, and some were machine woven or stitched, while the flags for political leaders and the highest-ranking military personnel were more decorative and often elaborately hand embroidered in bullion wire. Some vehicle flags were mass produced, including simple national flag type swastika emblem pennants that could have been bought by any patriotic supporter. Others were unique. These flags were attractive souvenirs for GI troops at the end of the war and are eagerly collected today.
