WWII Kriegsmarine Battle Flag – 100 x 170

Product Description: An exceptional example of a WWII Kriegsmarine Battle Flag – 100 x 170 in excellent condition. This original naval battle flag from the German Kriegsmarine dates to the World War II era and remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of age.

The flag measures approximately 100 cm x 170 cm (40 in x 67 in), with clear original black ink manufacturer markings along the reinforced white hoist edge, confirming its authenticity and military issue. Crafted from high-quality cotton, the flag retains strong structural integrity, with vibrant, unfaded colors and crisp detail throughout. Minor moth damage is present in a few small areas, consistent with careful long-term storage and age, but does not detract from the overall visual appeal or historical value.

This is a rare and highly desirable example of a Kriegsmarine battle flag, offering both remarkable preservation and undeniable authenticity. A superb centerpiece for any serious WWII collection or military history display.

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.
