Three horizontal stripes black-light yellow-red
Verbrüderungs-Reichsflagge shown in Breslau 1928

[Flag Proposal no. 6: Three horizontal stripes black-light yellow-red (Germany 1919-1933)] Image by Marcus Schmöger, 25 February 2002

A so-called 'fraternization flag' (Verbrüderungs-Reichsflagge) shown in Breslau (27 April 1928) combining the colours of the two German tribands in an imaginative, though unsuccesful way: black-very light yellow-red. So anybody could imagine the colour combination he would like to: black-white-red or black-golden-red. Source: Dreyhaupt 2000 [drh00], fig. 178.
