WWII German Kriegsmarine Flag – 150cm x 250cm

Product Description:  A striking and highly desirable example of a WWII German Kriegsmarine Flag, measuring 150 cm x 250 cm, the standard size employed on torpedo boats. This flag is a textbook Kriegsmarine issue, marked with the KM eagle and “Witte KG München” manufacturer’s stamp, denoting official naval supply.

Constructed of durable printed bunting, the flag displays the classic wartime design with multiple rows of reinforcing stitching to the fly end and a heavy white canvas header for hoisting. It retains exceptionally vibrant colors, showing only light, period use with minor surface soiling and small areas of discoloration consistent with naval service.

An excellent condition example throughout, this WWII German Kriegsmarine Flag represents both a visually impressive display piece and a fine, regulation specimen from one of the most iconic branches of the German armed forces.

Historical Description: The red flag with white central disk and black swastika was introduced by Hitler in the 1920s as the flag of the National Socialist political party. In 1933, shortly after the Nazis took power, this party flag was recognized alongside the black-white-red Imperial tricolor as one of Germany’s national flags. In 1935, the use of the tricolor flag was discontinued, and between September 1935 and May 8, 1945, the Nazi party flag was the sole national flag of Germany. From its creation in the 1920s through the end of the war, this swastika flag was made and used in endless variations, from the massive banners hung at Party Day rallies to small pennants, bunting flags, and hand-held paper flags distributed along parade routes. These flags, banners and pennants flew from ships, were hung from official and private buildings, and were displayed outside business and private homes. At the end of WWII, the Allied military governments abolished the use of all Nazi symbols, including the national flag. Most Third Reich era German national flags were simply destroyed.
