A genuine Second World War German Reichskriegsflagge or war flag.
This is the military version of the National swastika flag.
This flag was used only in wartime; flown from naval ships, especially u-boats.
The flag shows a cross with a swastika to the centre and a small iron cross in one corner all on a red ground.
The flag is marked ‘Kr.Fl (Kriegs-Flagge) 100 x 170’ along the white band to one edge.
It is also marked with what we can presume is a makers mark and place of manufacture, though most of this is too faded to read but it clearly says ‘Augsburg’, which is a German city not far from Munich.
~ Dimensions ~
The flag measures 85cm (33 ½ inches) by 170cm (67 inches).
It weighs 370g.
~ Condition ~
The flag has a couple of small marks and a few small holes, one to the centre of the swastika and a few in the red areas but otherwise is in very good condition.
