Re: Unusual Wall Banner
The answers are correct. The name of this organization is BDSDJ Bund Nationalsozialisticher Deutscher Juristan or the Organization of National Socialist German Jurists.
In 1945, the veteran entered the courhouse in Bonn and found this banner hanging on the wall in the main courtroom. As he related it, he said, "that's mine." One of his men picked up his M-1 rifle and shot a hole in banner saying, "you mean that one." as luck would have it, the shot only made a small tear in the fabric and there is no material loss. I believe this to be a very rare banner. I have never heard or seen of another example in a collection or for sale. I must once again say that I am proud to be nominated as the new caretaker of this piece. It will not be as long as the first owner who had it for63+ years.

Re: Unusual Wall Banner
I had never even seen or heard of this design before. Very nice indeed. I love the story of how it was liberated!
Cheers, Ade.
