Hi guys, Looking for some information on a flag belonging to a friend. His dad served in France and Germany during the war and obviously just grabbed this on his way through. Any ideas on what exactly it may have been used for? I’m assuming it’s been flying on a town hall or something? Nazi party flag and not Wehrmacht? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Jack.
The Reich Service Flag (Reichsdienstflagge) 1935-1945 The Reich Service Flag was to be used by all public administrative authorities, the German State railways, the Reichsautobahn (German Empire Highway Department) and Reichsbank (German Empire Bank) authorities. The flag had to be shown and hoisted on their administrative buildings, their service vessels on inland waterways and their service cars. The reverse side of the flag was a "through and through" image, i.e. it displayed the mirrored image. Historical Flags of Our Ancestors - Political and Civil Flags of the Third Reich
