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 Hauptamtschef (main department chief) flag is of the same design as the Reichsführer-SS flag, but instead of a square it is in the shape of a rectangle, with two horizontal white triangles and two vertical black triangles, as well as a silver-coloured eagle emblem with swastika in.
