A Third Reich period red cotton souvenir rally pennant produced for the intended 1938 Erntedankfest (Harvest Thanksgiving Festival) at Bückeberg. Measuring 14 inches high by 8 inches wide (excluding the dowel), the single-sided pennant features printed black Gothic typography reading "Erntedankfest Bückeberg 1938" above a central printed photo-portrait of Adolf Hitler, framed by an oak leaf harvest wreath. The bottom edge is printed in script with the slogan "Heil unserm Führer!" ("Hail to our Leader!"). The reverse features a stitched-on cream cotton roundel with a printed black swastika. The pennant is suspended from its original wooden hanger dowel and includes original hanging tassels at the lower corners. Condition is heavily worn with age-consistent damage, including significant moth infestation holes and fabric loss across the upper edge and left margin, overall surface fading, edge fraying, and light staining throughout. The wooden dowel is broken on the right side.
