Bahnschutz

I have a unique Nazi flag that my father brought back from the war. I am sending two attachments, one is the flag and one is the words which are printed on the canton [Bahnschutz R. B. D. Kassel].

This is probably the unit colours of a force detached to protect the railway in Kassel. Bahnschutz means railway protection. Kassel is a town in the state of Hesse in Germany. (...) The symbol upon the swastika is a winged wheel, a common symbol for railways.
