Russian flag stolen from International Flag Display

Who has Mexico invaded recently?

Disappointing.
I expected more than racist bigotry.

Spot on!

ac155, you all good with the German flag, you know, holocaust and all?

Holocaust happened under the nazi flag, not the current one.

Yeah right, do you know if both flags were linked to the Germans or??? Adolf, background was Spanish IIRC, no?

@Heywood Smith
No … the current black, red and gold tricolur was never associated with Nazi Germany.

@justsaying… you do realise that the nazi flag became the flag of Germany itself after the Nazis took power in 1933?? Just because they changed it doesn’t mean history is wiped because we chose a new colour scheme!

@Heywood Smith
After Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor on 30 January 1933, the black-red-gold flag (of the Weimar Republic) was banned; a ruling on 12 March established two legal flags: the reintroduced black-white-red imperial tricolour (of the previous German empire) and the flag of the Nazi Party.

On 15 September 1935, this dual flag arrangement was ended, and the Nazi flag became the official, and only, national flag of Germany.

At the end of World War II, the first law enacted by the Allied Control Council abolished all Nazi symbols and repealed all relevant laws – including the official status of the Nazi flag.

Ultimately, with the enactment of the (West) German constitution on 23 May 1949, the black-red-gold tricolour was readopted as the flag for the Federal Republic of Germany.

On 3 October 1990, as the area of the German Democratic Republic was absorbed into the Federal Republic of Germany, the black-red-gold tricolour became the flag of a reunified Germany.

So, history shows, that my original comment stands: “the current black, red and gold tricolour was never associated with Nazi Germany”.

Your google search cut and paste was beautifully done.. That doesn’t take away from the fact that Germans, regardless of what flag they have, will always be linked to the holocaust. A bit like all the descendants of convicts in Aus being blamed for the stolen generation, colonisation etc..

@Heywood Smith
Yes – factual research is so much easier these days.
Again (yawn!) I draw your attention to my original comment: “the current black, red and gold tricolour was never associated with Nazi Germany” … read, try to comprehend and then sit silently.

Germans, regardless of their flag, will always be linked to the holocaust – FACT… Descendants of convicts, like yourself, and your kids, and their kids, will always be linked to the stolen generation and colonisation – FACT. Yawn all you want champ and continue to indulge in the facts that suit your narrative.

@Heywood Smith
Is there actually a point to your delirious rant?

Your facts are not necessarily historical facts, Heywood Smith.

Yeah mate, flags dont mean sh&T in the scheme of things!!

@Heywood Smith
It was you who first mentioned the German flag …. I guess you just talk sh&t in the scheme of things.

Love how you use my text….. They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… NO, im not free for lunch tomorrow.
