Small NSDAP Pennant Trench Art

Product Description: A well-preserved example of period political regalia, this Small NSDAP Pennant Trench Art measures approximately 16 inches tall, with individual pennant measuring 9 inches in length and 6 inches across the hoist. Constructed in a single-layer cotton, the pennant is double sided with black printed swastika on white roundels.  The red shows a slight fade from age, and the swastika is faded on one side.

The pole mount is constructed of 4 8mm inert rounds that have been silver toned and soldered together to make a base mount for the flag pole.  the central round has come unsoldered and slides up and down the pole.  Shells are marked V.I. 28 HL and are dated 1928 or 1929.  A unique piece that would fit well in any Third Reich collection.

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.
