    I think you know that the original form of the flag is "black-white-red" from top to bottom.

    The flag of the German department of protectorates (Reichskolonialamt):

    The mostly form of flags for German Protactorates:
    The flag I made to use for the United Kingdom of the German Nation (as it is officially known as in this world) looks rather similar to those you posted. I've attached an image of the flag to this post.

    To use the main-flag at the jack is very britsh, but not the german style (beside in war-flags). *g*

    It“s simply a friendly advice.
    I expected as such, since the only place I've ever seen that style used is on British colonial flags.

    Britain is meant to be more tied with Europe in this world that it is in our timeline, so its influence may mean that other nations, including Germany, adopt their style of colonial flags.

    Ok, it“s a fictionall project, so everything is possible.
    If it is desirable, I could help with translation for possibly german text-parts.

    I'm a BIG fan of alternate-Earth scenarios, and that is freakin' awesome!

    I have an old writing project of my own (that will probably never see fruition) about alternate history, and this just makes me want to get back to that.

    Thank you for that --- Mark.
