Original Item: Only One Available. This an lovely example of a WWII German Kriegsmarine Navy Vizeadmiral (Vice Admiral) Rank Vehicle Command Flag Pennant, officially termed the Vizeadmiralflagge in German. These were used on small vehicles such as cars to denote the presence of a Vice Admiral, who were "Flag Officers" in the Kriegsmarine. It feels like it is made from a cotton or cotton rayon blend body, with a canvas header surrounding a metal support, which has spring clips on both ends for attachment to a vehicle mount. It features sturdy stitching around the perimeter, with reinforcement stitches on the corners.

The design features an Admiral's black Tatzenkreuz (cross pattée) with a chain stitched white border, and an embroidered dot on the top, indicating the rank of Vizeadmiral (Vice Admiral). This rank, equivalent of the U.S. Navy's Rear Admiral, was considered a "flag officer" in the Kriegsmarine, which was any Navy officer of high enough rank to fly a flag from the location of their command.

This example is in very good condition, showing age toning overall, along with a bit of light staining. There is a bit more staining on the header, which was made from a different material. This has given it a fantastic "been there" look.

Most impressive and ready to display!
