ORIGINAL RARE TROPHY FLAG GERMAN NSDAP (NAZI PARTY) DAF “Kreiswaltung Zeitz” FLAG. (DAF Flagge) SIGNED AND BROUGHT HOME BY US VETS THAT CAPTURED IT CERTIFIED.  With the dissolution of all Free Trade Unions in Germany in May 1933, the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German Labor Front) was established to replace the unions and to educate the workers in industry and commerce for the smooth and efficient operation of all labor in the Third Reich. In October 1934 the DAF was given official status as a sub-section of the NSDAP, and in March 1936 it was recognized as an independent NSDAP affiliated association and granted control of its own monetary budget. Regulations for DAF flags were addressed in June 1934, dictating that any DAF unit with more then two hundred personnel were authorized the use of a DAF flag. Originally, the DAF flags featured the cogged wheel emblem on a white circular field, but this was altered in 1935 to show the emblem with a narrow white outer border. In 1937 the DAF flag was altered again by the addition of a silver fringe to all but the hoist edge. A  1935 pattern, 125cm x 120cm, double-sided, multi-piece cotton and wool  construction factory unit flag, trimmed to all but the hoist edge in 50mm long . A large size about 45″/55″ (we placed a helmet on it for size reference).
