Product Description: A rare and visually compelling DJ Deutches Jungvolk Pennant 31″ x 13″, notable for its unusually large format and dual-sided construction. One side is executed in black cotton poplin and features the single-rune insignia associated with the Deutsches Jungvolk, while the reverse displays the Hitlerjugend diamond-and-emblem motif, accompanied by the stitched inscription “Opfersinn – Treue – Kameradschaft.” rendered in fine white chain stitching. Three original cloth suspension loops remain at the hoist end; one survives intact, while the other two show partial separation and period wear, consistent with use.
The pennant exhibits discoloration and modest fraying along one edge, yet retains strong visual impact and structural integrity. Measuring approximately 31 inches in length and 13 inches in height, the piece presents an impressive scale for exhibition.
A striking and uncommon example, this DJ Deutches Jungvolk Pennant 31″ x 13″ offers a distinctive representation of youth-organization material culture from the era, and remains in notably sound condition for display.
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.
