I have a unique Nazi flag that my father brought back from the war. I am sending this picture and a detail showing the words which are printed on the canton which appear to be [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.

R.B.D. stands for Reichsbahndirektion, or National Railways Directorate, a regional authority of which there were 28.
