Description
In his book Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler claims that he made the decision to use the swastika as the emblem for his fledgling movement.
He was responsible for the shape the swastika finally took, and for the choice of colours used, which set the pattern for all subsequent flags. In this third of a series of texts (MAA 270 & MAA 274), Brian L. Davis investigates the flags of the Third Reich party and police units.
The text is complemented by numerous contemporary photographs, and eight full page colour plates by Malcolm McGregor.
