Large German Nazi flag captured by American forces during World War II, measuring 48 x 53, featuring a sewn-on black-on-white swastika against a bright red field, with additional sewn "Marktredwitz 4" patches on each side. The white area surrounding the swastika has been signed on both sides by over 70 American servicemen (the majority of them signing on one side), most adding their hometowns. The flag features seven aluminum rings sewn along the hoist, and silver bullion fringe along three edges. In very good to fine condition, with scattered staining. Allied forces took Marktredwitz—an important Bavarian railway hub—in April 1945, during the decisive final stages of World War II in Europe.
