Neat Signals item, this flag is a red field in tightly woven red cotton with a square hole cut out of the center, and white cotton square applied over the hole, with the borders extending slightly onto the red on the reverse side.

The front side has a nice, white cube showing. If you looked up this Maritime Signal Flag on the color chart in the back of 1939-printed German reference book “Schlag nach!”, & this flag, in the 1933 chart, stands for the letter “C” (listed as Cäsar”).

There are two charts shown in color on the same page, the 1933 version at the top is titled “Signalflaggen”, & the chart below is titled “Neues Internationales Signalsystem”, which introduced many changes in the flag designs.  On the below chart, the “New System”, the signal flag for the letter “C” has been changed to a white flag with a red horizontal center bar with two blue horizontal bars, one at  the top and one at the bottom edges.  So this particular signal flag is the earlier (therefore rarer) type.
