N000658 NSDAP POLITICAL PENNANT. (Wimpel)

BACKGROUND: In the midsummer of 1920 Hitler adopted the swastika as the premier symbol of the NSDAP and the first official swastika party flags were introduced. With a deep understanding of pageantry and symbolism, and its propaganda and psychological effectiveness, the NSDAP went to great lengths to reinforce their political party to the general populace of Germany, with repetitive slogans and the omnipresent use of the swastika. Swastikas adorned flags, banners and pennants and were utilized at every possible opportunity.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Roughly 18cm tall x 120cm long, multi-piece cotton construction, dual-sided, triangular pennant. The pennant features a red base field with a separate, machine stitched on, central white circular disc with a printed swastika to the center of each side. The outer edges of the pennant all have a dual-ply machine stitched hem. The hoist edge of the pennant has its original bunting cord still intact. The pennant is in overall good, clean condition with a couple of small picks and pulls and the typical age staining.
