Original Item: Only One Available. This is an original German WWII NSDAP double sided political flag in excellent unissued condition, complete with its original Kaufhaus Carl Peters retail label. Measuring approximately 14" x 22", it is a compact and highly displayable example retaining strong original colors and only minor storage wear.

The flag is constructed primarily from cotton, with a single piece red field and separately applied white cotton roundels on both sides. Each white roundel bears a printed black mobile swas emblem, creating a fully double sided display.

One hoist edge is formed into a hemmed sleeve for attachment to a pole or other display support. The remaining edges are stitched to help prevent fraying.

The lower edge retains its original retailer label for:

Kaufhaus Carl Peters G.m.b.H., Köln, Rhein

The label is attached with a single red stitch, consistent with a temporary retail tag rather than a permanent manufacturer label. Handwritten markings on the reverse appear to indicate original price or inventory information.

Kaufhaus Carl Peters was a major Cologne department store and retailer. The surviving label provides an especially appealing commercial association and suggests that the flag remained in retail stock rather than being issued or used.

The red field remains vibrant, and the printed black emblems are strongly retained. The white roundels show only light age toning. There are no holes, tears, or significant structural defects, with only a few small smudges and storage stains present.

The crisp fabric, vivid color, intact stitching, and retained retail label support the description of this flag as unissued. Its exact intended application, whether for a small pole, indoor display, or decorative political use, has not been confirmed.

With its compact 14" x 22" dimensions, double sided applied construction, original Kaufhaus Carl Peters label, vivid colors, and excellent unissued condition, this is a particularly attractive example of German WWII political textile material. The light age toning, minor smudges, and storage stains are fully disclosed. It would display especially well in an NSDAP political, German WWII flag, retail history, propaganda textile, or period home front collection.

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.
