Product Description: This NSDAP Pennant Near Mint is an outstanding piece that would be very difficult to upgrade. It’s a high quality example, double sided, three layer construction, made of a finely woven fabric that retains bright original color. A multi-piece, neatly executed roundel with a black swastika on a white field is machine stitched to each side. The tail end has been reinforced with neat machine stitching, in red thread. This gorgeous pennant is complete with its original paper RZM tag. The tag is printed with an “E” tax code, and is stamped with the manufacturer number A4/655. The tag is complete and nearly perfect, with only extremely slight age toning. On the hoist end, each corner retains its original suspension ring, hand stitched in place. This NSDAP pennant near mint measures 13″x 8″ and is virtually pristine, with no damage. It displays extremely well.
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.
