Kriegsmarine Officers Vehicle Pennant

Product Description: This Kriegsmarine Officers Vehicle Pennant is a nice example of an attractive and very desirable piece of regalia, that is only seldom encountered. The body of this pennant is made of a ribbed cotton twill fabric, that retains strong original navy blue color. Both siodes of this pennant are adorned with a chain stitched Kriegsmarine eagle and swastika emblem, neatly executed in gold and black thread. The edges of this pennant feature eye-catching golden-yellow fabric trim, and both of the original plated metal attachment clips remain intact on the hoist end. This beautiful Kriegsmarine officers vehicle pennant is in outstanding, near mint condition. There is no damage or soling, and only extremely slight age toning. This piece would be a very impressive display item in even an advanced German Navy collection. It would be very challenging to upgrade.

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.
