Smaller NSDAP Flag 13 x 17

Product Description: This smaller NSDAP Flag is an attractive example, that would make a great accent piece for a display. These smaller size German national flags are popular with collectors because they are much easier to display (and also to store) than the larger flags of the era. This one measures a pleasant 13 x 17 inches. The body of this flag is made of a typical thin red fabric, that retains bold original crimson red color. The edges of the flag are finished with factory machine stitching. Both sides of this flag feature a white roundel with a printed black German national swastika emblem, machine applied with zig-zag stitching. This NSDAP flag shows no mothing or staining, and only very slight age toning. There are two thumbtack holes in the corners, from having been displayed in the past. 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.
