Product Description: A well-preserved example of period political regalia, this Small NSDAP Pennant Flag Set measures approximately 20 inches overall, with each individual pennant measuring 12 inches in length and 8 inches across the hoist. Constructed in a single-layer cotton, the set retains its vivid red, white, and black coloration, remaining remarkably bold despite age.
There are no holes or tears present; however, the edges exhibit light fraying, and the central roundel shows some minor discoloration consistent with gentle handling and time. This Small NSDAP Pennant Flag Set continues to grow in scarcity, particularly in this excellent condition, and offers strong visual appeal for display or collection. A striking and increasingly elusive example of early political textile.
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.
