History

Historical Description: The Reichskriegsflagge (Reich War Flag) was the war flag and war ensign of the German military before and during WWII. The flag was designed by Adolf Hitler and was introduced in 1943, combining the Nazi Party flag with elements of the previous German war flag designs. The flag was flown at all official buildings of the German military, including all military barracks. The flags were generally one-piece construction, printed and double-sided, with a white-colored header printed with information about the flag’s size, designation and manufacturer, though variations existed. These flags were used on all vessels of the Kriegsmarine as a war ensign. Kriegsmarine flags were marked with branch property stamps, usually in the form of a national eagle and swastika over an “M” for Marine. The Kriegsmarine authorized these flags to be produced in eight different sizes, with each size intended for vessels of a certain type, from U-Boats and E-Boats up to battleships. As with all Nazi-era flags, they were popular souvenirs for US troops, though most were simply destroyed at the end of the war.
