Large NSDAP Banner Flag – US Veteran Signed

Product Description:  An imposing and evocative NSDAP Large Flag Banner – Veteran Signed, measuring approximately 60 x 108 inches. This large-format banner presents a commanding visual presence, exhibiting period wear, light discoloration, and several repaired sections—evidence of its age and authentic field use. Its grand scale and craftsmanship reflect the ceremonial character of official party displays during the era, further complemented by the original rope and metal hanging hooks, which remain intact and attest to its period construction and display history.

Of exceptional interest to collectors, the banner bears multiple signatures from U.S. Army veterans, including members of the 80th Infantry Division and the 164th Engineers, among others—each inscription a personal testament to the banner’s postwar story and the soldiers who captured it. This remarkable convergence of provenance, scale, and completeness offers a rare opportunity to acquire an artifact that stands at the intersection of history, remembrance, and distinguished collecting.  This Large NSDAP Banner Flag – US Veteran Signed remains in excellent condition.

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.
