I prefer the historical Nazi Germany flag ''with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle.'', I know it is forbidden to show swastikas but it was that flag they used during the WWII not the tricolor one.

Swastika is forbidden in Germany and if this mod contains swastika flags it may discourage some German HOI fans to play this mod. Better to use a replacement.
 
Thank you for your comments, folks.

Anybody else would like to say something about possible options of the German flag ?

This is my favorite flag.

The tricolor was used by the Nazis too, along with the swastika flag.

Besides that, like I already said, the tricolor with the cross was the flag of the German Defense ministry in 1933-35

Perhaps, but I can't link Nazi Germany with the imperial flag. It's a crap.
 

Perhaps something like this could be used. Changing the swastika by the iron cross looks nice to the eye, neither it is too ahistorical. Perhaps using a flag similar to that of the Fatherland mod?

Anyways, I think that the tricolor one with the iron cross is just great.

@Terminator: About the tricolor flag, it should be noted that it was used by the Nazis just from 1933 to 1935. From there, the one with the swastika remained the only official one.

Yes, I know that.

I like that German's flag. However, that iron cross seems a bit little... the one in Germany's marine jack and war flag from 1933 to 1935 is sightly bigger

I know that too. The historically accurate flag of the German Defense ministry (1933-35) still looks too much like the German Imperial Warflag adopted in 1903. Making the cross smaller increases the difference between the two flags

I already tried that option. It looks good as a big size shiled (when you choose a scenario and a nation to play), but unfortunately it didn't look very good as a smaller shield with a province picture. The tricolor option is a way much better in that respect.

Could you post a screenshot of the German flag that is used for the Fatherland mod ?

By the way the same "Imperial" cross was also used in the flag of the Commander-In-Chief of the German Army from 1936 to December 1941

1936 - Feb. 1938

So, it seems there is nothing wrong if that kind of a cross is used to represent the Nazi Germany

I known, but the Nationalsocialism needs a pagan symbol as banner. It's idiosyncrasy force it.

Why? Nationalsocialism enjoyed forcing millions into what they wanted and it serves them good when we force Terminator's pretty iron cross suggestion down their throats. :cool:
 
How about this option ? Just made it. A minute ago. It has the Nazi eagle ( hopefully pagan enough :) ) and the Wehrmacht cross covering the swastika

Nationalsocialism wanted to create a neopagan religion. Because that the NSDAP used the swastika as symbol, discouraged the the Christian belief, focused his efforts searching magical/supernatural roots for the Aryan race, etc...

Not bad at all, but I prefer the Iron Cross version.

The Nazi eagle isn't pagan, is an imperial symbol.

Well, you know what flag I like (Except the one with swastika). :p
 
The one on post 501 is ideally close to the original.
