According to Günther 2000 the NDPD never used a proper flag, only a symbol, also on flag-like drapings. The image in Günther 2000 shows the leaves contoured in red, the lettering NDPD contoured in black (thus symbol without surrounding rectangle). The colours refer to the German national colours.

The NDPD was established to attract nationalistic people (old Wehrmacht officers and old Nazis) in the German Democratic Republic.

The party did use a proper flag, charged with its logo in red and black in the center of a gold field and two narrow red stripes, placed along the top and bottom edges. The photo can be seen at the
German Digital Library website. This is the only currently known photo of the flag, so there must have
been a small number of copies produced, an even smaller number having survived.
