History


The SS Command Flags were instituted on August 17, 1933. They are in the same design as the SA command flags, but in black and white instead of red and white. They were available either as flags or as vehicle pennants.
Early examples use an SA/political eagle design, but in 1936 with the introduction of the new and unique SS eagle design the flags were updated. The eagle always faces to the viewer’s right.
A strengthening bar was worn along the upper edge of the command flags and pennants so that they were unable to collapse on days without wind.

The Oberabschnitt (district) command flag is in the same design as that of the Main Office Chief, a rectangle shaped flag divided into four triangles, the horizontal ones being white and the vertical ones being black, with a silver-coloured eagle emblem with swastika in wreath in the centre. However, additionally it has the district’s designation written in silver-coloured letters below the eagle emblem.
The flag measures 60x90 cms, whereas the vehicle pennant measures 20x35 cms.
