Abstract
This chapter explores rituals of communal flag-raising in the late years of the Weimar Republic and the early years of the Nazi regime, challenging the prevailing view that such events merely demonstrate a growing mass conformity after 1933 to Nazi dictates. Instead, it is argued that, paradoxically, these mass rituals allowed scope for individuals to express private political views and even a degree of distance from the regime. Conversely, individuals who did conform to the mass flag-raising could also protect their private sphere from intrusive Party scrutiny. However, between 1933 and 1936-7 the room for individual manoeuvre was increasingly squeezed out as the Party sought to stop individuals expressing political preferences through a particular configuration of flags; moreover, the regulations concerning the ritual also evolved in order to visibly exclude German Jews from the national community.
