Product Description: This single sided NSDAP Flag is a one-look original piece, with awesome character. It’s made of a typical, thin, red cotton fabric. On one side, there is a large white roundel with a bold, printed black Nazi swastika emblem. The roundel has been neatly machine stitched to the flag with white stitching. This is certainly a flag that was used, and it shows some honest age and wear. The roundel has age toning, and some light staining. On the red field, the date “1944” has been written in ink at the upper left, very likely by the GI veteran who took this piece as a souvenir. There are a few stains and tears to the red field. This single sided NSDAP Flag has a been-there look that would make a great display piece for a “combat” collection. The condition is very good. Flag Dimensions: 30″ length X 22″ width
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.
