Product Description: This small NSDAP Flag 29″x 17″ is an appealing original, and makes a great accent piece for display. It’s a nice, displayable size, measuring 29 inches long and 17 inches wide. The body of this single-sided flag is made from a red material that remains nearly pristine, with no moth holes or other damage, and bright original color. The center of one side of the flag is adorned with a white fabric roundel with a printed black German swastika emblem. The roundel is near perfect, with only extremely minimal age toning, and is neatly machine stitched to the flag with white thread in typical straight stitch fashion. The reverse is clean, with neatly done factory style machine stitching on all four edges. The hoist end has some reinforcements as part of the design. This small NSDAP Flag 29″x 17″ is a very colorful and eye-catching piece, that is very well preserved; the condition rates as excellent.
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.
