Kriegsmarine ‘U-boot-size’ Gösch-Flagge 80×135 by Textildruck Arlt

Description

German Kriegsmarine ‘Gösch Flagge’ (Jack Flag). This was the official national and mercantile flag of Germany during the Third Reich period. Although the National War Flag is most commonly associated as the flag flown by the Kriegsmarine, they also utilized this standard national flag. This small ‘Jack’ flag was flown from a jackstaff on the bow of a war ship to indicate its nationality. The flag is made of dual-sided printed wool, the flag is having reinforcement stitching and is complete with both its cord loops. The flag is a medium sized 80 x 135 centimeters piece. The size is perfect for display in a collection as you don’t need a whole wall. It is nicely marked with ‘Gösch 80 x 135’ and the flag is maker marked by the company ‘Textildruck Arlt, inh. Oskar u. Kurt Arlt, Schönheide/Erzgeb’. Nice and desirable original flag!
