Original German WWII NSDAP Double Sided National Political Fringed Parade Standard Flag with RZM Tag - 46" x 54”

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German National Socialist Political Fringed Parade Standard Flag (Nationalflagge/Parteiflagge 1933-45),which measures a very displayable 46" x 54”. The flag does not have any attachment loops or other hardware on the header, and was most likely intended to be directly attached to a flag pole. It looks to be of wool construction with a single red field, and is double sided, with a single piece cotton white circle with a sewn on black fabric Swas (Hook Cross) on each side. It also has a lovely 2" silver fringe on three of four sides.

This example does not look to have seen much use, and the colors are still vibrant and unfaded. We do not see any evidence that it was ever attached to a pole or flown for any large amount of time. However, it does show some staining from storage, as well as scattered mothing on the red field over much of the flag. It was most likely not stored correctly for some amount of time, and later cleaned off.

The header still features sewn on original RZM tag which is a complete example, though it shows wear and some tearing. The tag has a correct “P” tax code and features a ((RZM)) logo. The ink stamped numerical designation of the Herſteller: (manufacturer) is A4/308 and has the lot № 041966 beneath it.

In very nice condition, this would be perfect for a German WWII wall display!

NSDAP Party

The NSDAP, officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), was a far-right political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that created and supported the ideology of N**ism. Its precursor, the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920. The Party emerged from the extremist German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post–World War I Germany. The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. Initially, N**i political strategy focused on anti–big business, anti‑bourgeois, and anti‑capitalist rhetoric. This was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party's main focus shifted to antisemitic and anti‑Marxist themes.

Ad**f Hi**er, the party's leader since 1921, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Hitl** rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich. Following the defeat of the Third Reich at the end of World War II in Europe, the party was "declared to be illegal" by the Allied powers, who carried out denazification in the years after the war both in Germany and in territories occupied by NSDAP forces. The use of any symbols associated with the party is now outlawed in many European countries, including Germany and Austria.
