The back has the same symbol with the words "Deutschland, Erwache" which translates to "Germany, Awake." The banner measures approx. 26" x 34" and is weighed down at the bottom seam. Rope is tied around the dowel to affix the plastic sculpture atop the banner. The (1) double-sided painted, plastic sculpture holds a swastika enclosed by a wreath of oak leaves and below is a box displaying the letters "NSDAP." The sculpture measures approx. 15" x 21" x 2". On the wreath you can see the feet of the eagle that once sat on top. Seen in the famous book-burning rally scene of the film when Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is attempting to rescue his father.
