Verifying if a German Flag is authentic

So I have this flag in my possession but I'm not sure if it's authentic. The man I got it from said it was a battle flag off a tank, but I have no idea how to check this kind of stuff.

Yes, genuine banner, as for the banner off a tank, yes these were used as ID banners, yours though most likey a street or parade event used based on mounting rings but they were used everywhere and for any needed use Nice size also

Okay cool. Thank y'all for letting me know.

Also I bought it for $205, it would've been $200 but there was a fee using a card. Do y'all think I got a good price?
