Anyone see this marking on a party flag???

propaganda does not have the same meaning in German the way we think of it..this was a party owned banner, and not for resale..

The stamp says:

Tirol-Vorarlberg
Gaupropaganda-Amt

which means:

Tirol = Tyrol (province of Austria)
Vorarlberg = name cannot be translated, but also an Austrian province
Gau = district
propaganda = propaganda
Amt = office

It seems that this flag belonged to a propaganda office of the NSDAP of the district "Tirol-Vorarlberg", which would be located today in Southern-West Austria. Propaganda offices have been local political offices of the NSDAP in each district taking care about the local campaigns, activities, etc. of the Nazi party.
