Stander Befehlshaber der Polizei Preußen 1933-35 Hoodie: A Design in History
This hoodie features a striking design inspired by the "Standarte des Befehlshabers der Polizei in Preußen," a ceremonial flag of the Prussian Police Commander from 1933 to 1935. The artwork boldly recreates the symbolic elements of this historical standard.
A Field of Green: The Police Service Color
The base of the design employs a rich green, the traditional color of the German police, or "Polizeigrün." This color instantly identifies the wearer with the force and its historical roots.
The Prussian Eagle: Authority and Continuity
At the center of the design, a prominent Prussian Eagle is rendered in striking detail. This iconic emblem, clutching a sword and scepter, represents the authority of the Prussian state and its police force. The eagle embodies the continuity of Prussian governance and the power of its institutions.
Corner Emblems: A Reflection of Shifting Ideologies
The hoodie features a graphic representation of the standard's corner emblems, presented in two different versions. The initial version utilizes the Iron Cross, a symbol of military valor and tradition. Later, and representing a significant shift in political influence, the design incorporates swastikas in the corners. These provide a stark visual reminder of the Nazi state's influence and the integration of the police into the regime. The two representations offer an historical overview of the evolution of the standard over time.
Silver Accents: Command and Distinction
The design incorporates a silver or white border, mirroring the original standard's border stripe. This border serves as a visual marker of officer rank and the command distinction, further emphasizing the importance of the flag's symbolism within the police hierarchy. The overall effect is a design that is both historically accurate and visually commanding.
