Germany's national flag has a white ground, divided into four parts by
black lines--one broad black line and a narrow one on each side. At the
centre is a circle containing the Prussian crowned eagle. The upper
quarter, by the staff, is divided into three equal horizontal stripes,
black, white, and red, and on these is a Maltese cross--the iron cross
of Germany.
The German merchant flag has red, white, and black horizontal stripes.
Flags have grown by custom and international law to represent
nationality. If they are insulted the insult is to the nation. In war
they are protected by lives, and in peace they pass around the world, or
float from their staffs on land--marks of their nation's strength and
supremacy.
