Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good service used condition WWII German National Banner, which measures a very displayable 31 inches wide by 74 inches long. These were used inside buildings, and possibly on podiums during speeches. It is of all cotton construction, and is double sided with a single piece cotton white circles with dyed black Swasses (Hook Crosses) sewn onto both sides.

Condition is very good, with some small tears and stains consistent with use in service. There is also wear around the edges, so this definitely wasn't an example found in storage by USGIs. The colors are very well retained, with minimal age toning to the white circles, and a vibrant red field. As with most we find, there is no maker marking, however this one has had a halyard rope installed in the hem on one end, and was stitched in at both ends. It looks like it was cut or torn off when captured, so very little remains outside the channel. There is also a hanging channel on the other end.

A very nice and interesting example!

When Adolf AH joined the DAP in the autumn of 1919 he was to reform what was basically a debating society into an active political party. Appointed as the first chairman of the party on July 29TH 1921 AH was to restructure it along para-military lines in a hierarchy of four levels of government.
