German//national flag variant/WWII captured

Sub-collection: U.S. Army Ranger museum

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
