Almost all the details of this set of flags are from the 1943 Organisationsbuch der NSDAP, published by the Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP, and "not to be sold in the book trade". I suspect not many copies are around (I picked mine up at the Nazi party headquarters in Munich early in May 1945). Ballantine's Books reprinted the color illustrations in "Nazi Regalia" in 1971 and Imperial Publications reprinted all of the illustrations in black and white in "The NSDAP" in 1990. Also helpful is Brian Davis, Badges of the Third Reich 1933-1945, Blandford Press 1985.
