Original German WWII Excellent NSDAP Double Sided National Socialist Political Flag - 31” x 44 1/2”

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German National Socialist Political Flag or possibly banner (Nationalflagge/Parteiflagge 1933-45), which measures a very displayable 31" x 44 1/2". These could be hung vertically or horizontally, and were displayed on buildings, on podiums during speeches, or sometimes even hung up at camps. It looks to be of all cotton construction with a two piece red field, and is double sided, with a single piece cotton white circle with a printed black Swas (Hook Cross) on each side.

One of the narrow sides has a hemmed sleeve for a pole, and this flag is in excellent condition, showing just a bit of wear on the ends of the hanger sleeve, probably from being torn off a wall it was tacked to. There is a bit of pulling in a few areas on the red field, but we think this is from original manufacture. The colors are very well retained, and this flag would be hard to improve upon.

In fantastic 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.
