This is the proper flag of Germany. Anything else is libshit bullshit.
>>221443289>the slavo-celt mutt tries stealing more germanic culturehaven't you krauts harmed europe enough?
>>221443314You got that right. The Danes literally just stole our flag and made it a little longer.
>>221443289Looks gay, if youre gonna do something with the HRE use an eagle design, those look cool
>>221443398The HRE eagle stands for the whole Empire. The white george cross on red is Germany-specific. It's also a nice pendant to the English flag.
It's pathetic to see a kraut post this gay shit and claim something else is lib bullshit
>>221443417>The HRE eagleAka the usurped emblem of the Palaiologoi
>>221443427Thank you for expressing your emotion to me. It's good to see more people move past these toxic masculine tendencies.
>>221443368They stole their flag from some Estonian warriors.
>>221443475The Eagle and the Lion have been the most common symbols of German Heraldry since time immemorial. The double-headedness though was indeed inspired by byzantine emblems but already showed up before Palaiologos took over Greece.
>>221443486No, they probably just saw german crusaders use it and decided that they would fly the same banner and it stuck around.
>>221443552>since time immemorialwhen was that? 8-9th cent? did you have lions back then?>inspiredright
>>221443616We got that symbol directly from the Romans just like the Greeks.
>>221443475Nuh uh finders keepers chud
>>221443641what the lion?
>>221443417Chop off one of the heads and its gucciWe've been using eagles specifically for specifically germany since at least 1815, and defacto even longer, the HRE was just germany with a little extra ever since the 30 years war
>>221443716Italy was part of the Empire till the end.
>>221443737Double checked and yeah technically Italy was still in the empire then, but for all intents and purposes it may as well not have been since around the end of the middle ages
>>221443289The Black-White-Red Imperial flag is the most adequate flag for Germany because is the flag of the lesser Germany solution (the unification plan adopted in 1871) dominated with Prussia in contrast with the today Black-Red-Yellow flag of the Greater Germany with the Habsburg Austria and Chequia.
