GERMAN WWII NAZI FLAG POLE TOP -
Hitler's Germany placed a great deal of emphasis on symbology. The use of
flags and standarts were
widespread. Whether holding a political, military or civilian event, flags had a very dominant
presence in the scene.
This is a German WWII Nazi flag Pole Topper. Very elegant design. Consisting of an eagle with
wings fully spread. Clutching a wreath with a swastika in the center. The wings have three
sets of plumeage. The feathers are shorter as they approach the body of the eagle. The
head of the eagle faces to the right.
The bottom of the wreath is attached to a cilinder with two holes towards the bottom. This is
where the flag pole would be secured via the use of two screws. Some of the flagpoles had
markings . The one featured here does not have
any.
