Rare Double Sided Nazi Police Unit/Battalion Pennant/Wimpel

Lot #57 (Sale Order 62 of 264)

From an advanced WW2 Nazi Police Collector's estate. This example was acquired many years ago from a WW2 vet the collector stated. The collector is now in his 90's stated this pennant was one of his prized Nazi Police items in his collection! Double sided example has reinforcement stitching at the tip, along the straight edge and has horizontal reinforcement stitching in the corners where the pole ties are. The pole ties exhibit wear and appear to have been cut from the pole. Bevo embroidered Police eagle insignia on each side. The unit/district numbers are bar stitched on each side which was done in the early 3rd Reich period before chain stitching became more common. No reaction to UV lighting. The red base material is a fine wool construction. The swastika is printed onto a fine white wool circle which is stitched to the red wool base on each side. We have had several advanced collector's look at this and response was nearly 100% positive with the main issue being that Nazi Police Unit designated pennants are extremely rare and is almost impossible to compare to other examples. The construction is certainly indicative of 3rd Reich era. In our opinion and having examined in hand, we believe it to be an original period example but please bid based on your own knowledge, expertise and/or research!

Footnote: In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Act transferred federal responsibilities for non-military aviation from the Bureau of Air Commerce to a new, independent agency, the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The legislation also gave the authority the power to regulate airline fares and to determine the routes that air carriers would serve. In 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt split the authority into two agencies, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). The CAA was responsible for air traffic control, safety programs, and airway development. The CAB was entrusted with safety rule-making, accident investigation, and economic regulation of the airlines. Although both organizations were part of the Department of Commerce, the CAB functioned independently. After the Second World War began in Europe, the CAA launched the Civilian Pilot Training Program, to provide the nation with more aviators. On the eve of America's entry into the conflict, the agency began to take over operation of airport control towers, a role that eventually became permanent. During the war, the CAA also greatly enlarged its en route air traffic control system. In 1944, the United States hosted a conference in Chicago that led to the establishment of the International Civil Aviation Organization and set the framework for future aviation diplomacy. In the post-war era, the application of radar to air traffic control helped controllers to keep abreast of the postwar boom in air transportation. In 1946, Congress gave the CAA the task of administering a federal-aid airport program aimed exclusively at promoting development of the nation's civil airports.

It was World War II, and he was a wingman in a P-47 fighter group. He completed a 100-mission tour and was promoted to major before volunteering for a second tour. By the end of the war, he completed 119 missions and received many awards including the Silver Star; Legion of Merit; Distinguished Flying Cross; Air medals; French Croix de Guerre; and Army and Air Force Commendation medals. His flying career continued as a squadron commander in P-51s and F-86s; as a group commander in F-86s and F-100s; and as commander of the 36th Wing in Germany, flying F-105s and F-4s. Hackler was promoted to brigadier general and assigned to headquarters as deputy director of operations for the United States Air Force, Europe. In September 1956, he returned to the United States and was assigned to the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, as commander of the 354th Fighter Day Group. He delivered the first F-100 to the base in October 1956. The following year, he was appointed director of operations for the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing. In this position, Hackler was instrumental in developing a worldwide deployment capability as part of Tactical Air Command’s Composite Air Strike Force. "
