It may not have been the 'official' national flag, but was pretty much used as such. The only instance I can remember where I've seen the 'official' national flag is the small shield on wehrmacht helmets. Almost all other flags I've seen on photos etc. are nazi flags.

I also note of the 7 german propaganda posters without nazi flags you show 3 are foreign recruiting posters (Dutch, Italian and Norwegian). It makes some sense that there are no nazi flags on those as the NSDAP wasn't active in these countries.
