German, 3rd Reich, black, white and red (BWR) flag was restored as the German flag from 1933 to 1935. This early example was defaced with an upright swastika, probably right after the Nazi party discontinued the use of the plain German tricolor. This small flag was returned to the United States by an American GI and donated to the US Army Ranger museum of New York City.

Text on tag stapled to flag : "16GEIIFLG0018 TRICOLOR w/ Swastika 10"X14"" The black-white-red horizontal tricolor was (equally with the Swastika Flag of the NSDAP Party) the German national flag of 1933-1935.
