Jakob Grimminger (25 April 1892 – 28 January 1969)[1] was a German Nazi Party and Schutzstaffel (SS) member. As the official standard-bearer of the Blutfahne, an iconic flag of the Nazi movement that had become bloodstained during the Munich Putsch in 1923, Grimminger often appeared close to Hitler in photographs and during ceremonies.[2]
