Germany // Nazi Naval Ensign / 1938-1945
Little is known about the history of this flag; it was acquired as a GI bringback. Not as well-known as the civil flag of Germany under the Nazi regime a black swastika on a white disk in the center of a red field this Reichskriegsflagge (1938-1945) or
war ensign was the second most moteworthy national flag used at the time. It belonged to the German Army and Navy and flew over all buildings and vessels under their control. In the last year of the Nazi regime, emphasis was put on this flag as a rallying point for the German people because of its association with the armed forces rather than the Nazi party.
