of gold-coloured oak-leaves. Set on the white disk was a black upright swastika. In each corner of the red field was a gold-coloured eagle emblem: In the upper left and lower right corner it was a Party eagle, whereas it was a Wehrmacht eagle in the upper right and lower left corner. The entire standard was edged on all four sides with a border of black and white bands. The flag was designed by Hitler personally. It was made in two forms: a normal cloth flag (which flew at the Reichs Chancellery when he was present), and a 'solid' type which was used on his car, at rallies, and other political events. Both types were also used at his residence at Obersalzberg. The 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH) used a variant of the Führerstandarte as their regimental and battalion color that was introduced in September 1940 after the German victory over France. There was also a standard for the "Führer Escort Battalion". It had a great similarity to the guidon used by the LSSAH but could be distinguished, apart from other details, by the different color of the fringes: LSSAH used gold, while the FBB used silver. Trophy standards Following the Battle of Berlin, many German standards and flags were taken to Moscow. They were thrown at the foot of Lenin's Mausoleum in a gesture of enemy humiliation during the 1945 Moscow Victory Parade.
