This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a historical military flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
As you correctly noted, the original design of the flag is obscured by watermarks. However, based on the Chinese filename, “德国海军旗3” (Déguó hǎijūn qí 3), which translates to “German Navy Flag 3,” this accessory represents the Reichskriegsflagge. This was the official war flag used by the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) and all other branches of the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1945.
This flag is the one most famously associated with Germany during the height of World War II. The full, unobscured design of this historical flag was:
- A red field.
- A black Scandinavian cross (with the vertical bar offset towards the hoist), which was bordered in white. (Note: This toy version appears to simplify the cross into a symmetric one, which is common for small-scale replicas).
- In the very center of the cross, a white circle containing a black swastika.
- In the upper corner (canton), a black Iron Cross (Eisernes Kreuz).
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is a key item for historical dioramas of World War II and is often used with German soldier and sailor minifigures.
