Personal standard of Adolf Hitler

The Standard of the Führer (German: Führerstandarte or Standarte des Führers) was a square red banner of arms with a black swastika on a white disc inside a central wreath of golden oak leaves and four Nazi eagles in the corners, associated with the office of the Führer (leader) of Nazi Germany (a title which in practice was only held by Adolf Hitler).

Some were not flown but were hung or displayed in interior venues like the opera or at Nazi Party Day.

The standard was also embossed on teaspoons from the mess hall dining sets of Führerbegleitbrigade.

[a] After Soviet troops captured one LSSAH banner staff in 1945, the trophy has been confused with Hitler's personal standard at the 1945 Moscow Victory Parade.

[5] The banner was found in Poznań opera hall in the 1960s and was probably placed there during World War II in case Hitler decided to visit.
