NSDAP Flag Pennant – 28″ x 16”

Product Description:  A historically representative and well-preserved NSDAP Flag Pennant – 28″ x 16”, constructed in a vivid red fabric that retains strong original color with no evident fading. This single-sided pennant features a centrally positioned white roundel bearing a printed black emblem, secured with factory zig-zag machine stitching. The hoist edge retains one original suspension ring, with thread remnants marking the location of a second. Edges are finished in standard machine-sewn construction, with the folded point showing loss of original stitching through age and use.

The piece exhibits light discoloration and a scattering of small pinholes consistent with period handling, yet remains free of moth damage. The reverse displays two cloth tags—one clearly marked Fahnenrichter, the other washed out—along with a stamped inventory number, 8111. Size: 28 x 16 inches.

A clean and visually striking example, this NSDAP Flag Pennant – 28″ x 16” survives in excellent overall condition, offering an informative artifact for historical study and curated display.

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.
