What is reichkriegsflagge?

Reichskriegsflagge, also known as the "Imperial War Flag," was the battle flag of the German Empire. It was used by the Imperial German Army from 1867 to 1918 and later adopted by the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. The flag featured a black, white, and red tricolor with a black Iron Cross in the center. The Iron Cross was a military decoration awarded for valor in battle. During World War II, the Reichskriegsflagge was frequently flown by the German Navy and was also used as a symbol for military recruiting. Today, the use of the Reichskriegsflagge is highly controversial in Germany due to its association with Nazi ideology and militarism.
