The symbol is that of the NSKOV (Nationalsozialistische Kriegsopferversorgung, or National Socialist War Victim Care), and the word directly beneath the symbol is "Ortsgruppe" (local group). I believe that the word beneath that is the name of the town from which it came or was issued, but I can't make out what it says.

Thanks. That id really helps. "Ortsgruppe" means that this organization was equivilant to a US county level.
Hopefully someone can identify the name of the town or city.

Thanks so much Glenn for the id. I expected a longer id process. Fortunately although the stamp's impression was somewhat light it was enough to read. I suspect the purpose of the stamp was to document proof of whom the banner belonged.

It marks the banner as property of the organization...You did very well in making the stamp visible, btw...
Schlotheim is a small town with a population of less than 5000 people, btw...
cheers, Glenn

Very good. I'll check the location on a map. I envision this rings banner mainly being used in formal types of solicitation settings for aid, i.e., inside meeting halls, formal dinner affairs, etc. I recall seeing only maybe two pictures of this style wall banner and both were inside environments. Although possible to use outdoors, the rings in any wind quickly would slip out of position on a horizontal rod support interfaced to a pole or or vertical mast.

Don't mention showers.
