Product Description: This is a great and very attractive example of a Reichskriegsflagge Smaller Navy Flag marked . The size of this one is 80cm x 135cm, which is a perfect size for display, and a desirable size. This is the flag size that was used on torpedo boats. The flag shows some use but retains strikingly bright colors, very vibrant. The German Reichskriegsflagge Smaller Navy Flag is absolutely textbook in all aspects. No holes or staining on the flag. The flag remains in near mint condition overall. It’s absolutely complete, including both loops on the hoist end for affixing this to a pole. The printing and construction are typical, with rows of reinforcing stitching to the end opposite the header. The header is very well marked with the size, the flag type designation “R.Kr.Fl.” for Reichskriegsflagge, and the manufacturer, “G. A. Fröhlichs Sohn A.G. Warndorf. Sud.” This German Reichskriegsflagge Smaller Navy Flag is an impressive flag, in a desirable size, made even more desirable by the near mint condition and markings.

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.
