| I made a new cover for the German ebook market. Since the swastika is cut in half, I hope I can bypass Amazon's ridiculous limitations and at least have the chance of selling the novel in Germany. |
Somehow I don't seem to get around to do some serious writing lately. Well, to offset a bit of that I've been playing around with a couple of flags for the post-coup Germany that would arise after the events of Wolf Hunt in 1940.

| That one's not from me. I found it on AH.com but can't seem to remember the name of the guy who created it. So, if YOU are that person, just tell me, okay? |
I have not yet fully worked out how the new government would operate, who would take which position, and what the future constitutional basis of it all would be. Directly post-"Wolf Hunt", we are looking at a military government, but its leading figures would soon be looking to expand their support base to those non-socialist circles that had been opposed to the Nazi regime.

| That one is simply a reskinned version of the Swastika flag, with the color scheme of the flag of the Weimar Republic and the Federal Republic (black, red, gold). |
I don't really like it. For one, it looks kinda bland, and secondly, it's far too reminiscent of the actual Nazi flag.

| This is also just a simple reskin of a flag, this time the Weimar and Federal Republic flag. |
The Imperial Eagle and the Iron Cross have been added, but even though the uptimers will have some fond memories of the flag its based one, most everybody else won't.

| Based on the Reichskriegsflagge, I added an eagle and replaced the Swastika with the Iron Cross, adding the golden color as well to achieve a mix of Republican and Imperial imagery. |
I do like this one and the first one best, but it'd be great if some of you guys had more suggestions for me.
All right, I'd be delighted if I got some feedback from you guys (and from the ladies as well, of course). Comments, ideas, criticism?

I'm partial to, numbered from top left and down the way one reads, numbers 4 & 6. They look more iconic.
ReplyDeleteblack red gold with an imperial eagle - it is THE flag of germany from 1848 on, a tradition, the new reich shouuld invoke - the spirit of the freiheitskriege°
ReplyDeleteif there are that much problems with the weimar flag because of reminiscense of chaos and decline, tis (and variations) would fit best:
