Referred to at the time as "Truppenfahnen" or "Feldzeichen," the standard was used for ceremonial occasions and retained the pattern of the traditional "Old Army" during the Inter-war years. It was only until Hitler became Chancellor was the army introduced with a new standard on March 16, 1936. Selected units presented the new colors 6 months later on Armed Forces Day of the Reich Party Rally in Nuremburg. On August 28, 1944, this flag was replaced with the Reich War Flag by orders of the Führer. New recruits would now give their oath with the War Flag instead of the traditional method of using their colors. Less that a month later, these standards were ordered to be handed over to the Armed Forces Museum in Berlin because of the war situation.
