Product Description: This German Third Reich Flag is a great example of this popular war souvenir, in an attractive and desirable 53″ x 36″ size. This is large enough to be impressive while still being displayable. It is double sided, and is complete, with cloth ties on the hoist end for affixing it to a pole. This flag retains bright and strong original color, with printed swastika roundels machine sewn to each side. There is a round maker stamp showing that this flag was manufactured by a firm in Naples, occupied Italy, a nice detail. There is some light mothing to the white disk area on both sides of the flag but otherwise no damage or condition issues to note. This German Third Reich Flag is a nice representative piece with a lot of visual appeal. The condition rates as very good plus.
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.
