German Naval / Army Ensign Flag Swallowtail Flag Federal Republic of Germany

  
This is an example of the current Naval and Army ensign of the Federal Republic of Germany, which has been in use since 1956 (though based off earlier designs). This is distinguished from the State Flag or Dienstflagge by the swallowtail shape of the banner, having two triangular points on the fly side. It is made of thick cotton with reinforced edges for maximum durability.
