Product Description: This very nice NSDAP Pennant is an extremely well-preserved example, in as-new condition. The body of the pennant is made from an eye-catching, crimson red fabric that retains bright original color. It’s double sided; both sides feature a white roundel with a black printed German national swastika emblem, factory machine stitched to the pennant. The hoist end of this pennant has a woven white fabric reinforcement, and both corners of this are complete with original rope ties that would have fastened this to a staff. The size of this NSDAP pennant is an impressive and very displayable 15″ x 18.” The condition of this crisp pennant rates as near mint, with no holes or damage- this piece looks as it did on the day it was made. It would be hard to find a nicer one.

 

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.
