Kriegsmarine Reichskriegsflagge

A German Kriegsflagge (War Ensign) during WW2, specifically used between 1935 and 1945, was the official flag of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) and war ministries, featuring a red field with a white disc, a black swastika, and a black-white-black cross, symbolizing Nazi ideology and military strength. A red field with a white disc located in the center. Inside the disc is a black swastika, which is rotated to stand on one of its tips. The flag incorporates a large black-white-black cross, also known as the Iron Cross, dividing the red field into four distinct sections. It was used primarily as the naval ensign on all ships of the German navy, as well as on various military buildings, bases, and installations, particularly from 1938 onward. It blended traditional German military colors (red, white, and black) with the official Nazi swastika, representing the integration of the German military within the Nazi state. This flag was often referred to as the Reichskriegsflagge. While the 1935–1938 version had a slightly different appearance, the 1938–1945 version, which removed the iron cross from the corner to emphasize the central swastika, was the most common during the war years.

This item:
A beautiful woolen war flag. There is some moth damage here and there, which is common with these flags. However, it is in very nice condition. It is nicely stamped with the Navy logo, featuring an M beneath an eagle. The corners are reinforced, and the short side is well stitched to prevent fraying. The manufacturer has also marked it, which is not always the case. And as usual, the size is indicated: 150 cm x 250 cm. A nice flag.
