Original German WWII Unissued NSDAP Double Sided National Political Flag by Arfelstedt & Hornung - 31" x 47"

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely unissued WWII German National Socialist Political Flag (Nationalflagge/Parteiflagge 1933-45), which measures a very displayable 31" x 47". It looks to be of all cotton construction with a single piece red field, and is double sided, having a single piece cotton white circle with a printed black Swas (Hook Cross) switched onto each side.

The fly end has been folded and hemmed, and also has has 45 degree angle re-enforcing stitching to the fly end corners. The hoist end has been folded to make a sleeve, which would often later have a halyard installed, however this flag does not look to have ever been hung. The top of the hoist side has a white rayon and red cotton stitched manufacturers tag that reads:

Flaggenfabrik             
Arfelstedt & Hornung
          HAMBURG + ALTONA

There are a few small stains on the flag from storage, but aside from that it is in near mint condition, with the colors still vibrant and the stitching all intact.

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.
