Description Civil flag of Germany, Civil flag of West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) from 1949-1990, Civil flag of East Germany (German Democratic Republic) from 1949-1959.

Note: I use a standard palette of shades of colours for the flag designs. Contrary to the images of flags depicted on Wikipedia, I do not follow the "official" shades of colours claimed by governments as well as alternate history flags based on flags of existing countries. The problem is that it commonly results in bizarre shading of a flag if they are taken literally - in practice such "official" colour shades are almost never applied and standard reds, blues, etc, are used.

It is so that I can eventually make a full flags of the world set of national flags for several points of time in history, the widest flag is Oman's flag. I am using the flag ripple device at nationstates.net - it can handle bigger sizes but for Oman's flag, that is the size that it will come out as - it cannot stretch the ripple device any further. There are also other large flags like the historic flags of Iran and Montenegro that are very large.

I could make larger flags on request if you wish, but the larger I make the flag the more unwieldy the ripple-creation engine will become at nationstates.net in terms of the size that will come out once it reaches a certain size threshold.
