The outbreak of World War II in Europe caused the NSKK ranks to be recruited to serve in the transport corps of various German military branches. There was also a French section of the NSKK, which was organised after the German occupation of France began in 1940. The NSKK was the smallest of the NSDAP Party organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41911624400965,"sku":"ONSV23WHS101","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV23WHS101__01.jpg?v=1726274272","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-service-worn-nsdap-national-socialist-large-pennant-12-1-2-x-34","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
