particular ideological mission.
Only in one part of the German­speaking territory – in German­
Austria – was there anything like a bourgeois party flag in 
evidence. Here a section of the national bourgeoisie selected the 
1848 colours (black, red and gold) as their party flag and 
therewith created a symbol which, though of no importance from 
a weltanschauliche viewpoint, had, nevertheless, a revolutionary 
character from a national point of view. The most bitter 
opponents of this flag at that time, and this should not be 
forgotten today, were the Social Democrats and the Christian 
Socialists or clericals. They, in particular, were the ones who 
degraded and besmirched these colours in the same way as in 
1918 they dragged black, white and red into the gutter. Of 
course, the black, red and gold of the German parties in the old 
Austria were the colours of the year 1848: that is to say, of a 
period likely to be regarded as somewhat visionary, but it was a 
period that had honest German souls as its representatives
although the Jews were lurking unseen as wire­pullers in the 
background. It was high treason and the shameful enslavement of 


the German territory that first of all made these colours so 
attractive to the Marxists of the Centre Party; so much so that 
today they revere them as their most cherished possession and 
use them as their own banners for the protection of the flag they 
once foully besmirched.
It is a fact, therefore, that, up till 1920, in opposition to the 
Marxists there was no flag that would have stood for a 
consolidated resistance to them. For even if the better political 
elements of the German bourgeoisie were loath to accept the 
suddenly discovered black, red and gold colours as their symbol 
after the year 1918, they nevertheless were incapable of 
counteracting this with a future programme of their own that 
would correspond to the new trend of affairs. At the most, they 
had a reconstruction of the old Reich in mind.
And it is to this way of thinking that the black, white and red 
colours of the old Reich are indebted for their resurrection as the 
flag of our so­called national bourgeois parties.
It was obvious that the symbol of a régime which had been 
overthrown by the Marxists under inglorious circumstances was 
not now worthy to serve as a banner under which the same 
Marxism was to be crushed in its turn. However much any decent 
German may love and revere those old colours, glorious when 
placed side by side in their youthful freshness, when he had 
fought under them and seen the sacrifice of so many lives, that 
flag had little value for the struggle of the future.
In our Movement I have always adopted the standpoint that it 
was a really lucky thing for the German nation that it had lost its 
old flag. This standpoint of mine was in strong contrast to that of 
the bourgeois politicians. It may be immaterial to us what the 
Republic does under its flag. But let us be deeply grateful to fate 
for having so graciously spared the most glorious war flag for all 
time from becoming an ignominious rag. The Reich of today, 
which sells itself and its people, must never be allowed to adopt 
the honourable and heroic black, white and red colours.
As long as the November outrage endures, that outrage may 
continue to bear its own external sign and not steal that of an 


honourable past. Our bourgeois politicians should awaken their 
consciences to the fact that whoever desires this State to have the 
black, white and red colours is pilfering from the past. The old 
flag was suitable only for the old Reich and, thank Heaven, the 
Republic chose the colours best suited to itself.
This was also the reason why we National Socialists recognized 
that hoisting the old colours would be no symbol of our special 
aims; for we had no wish to resurrect from the dead the old Reich 
which had been ruined through its own blunders, but to build up 
a new State.
The Movement which is fighting Marxism today along these 
lines must display on its banner the symbol of the new State.
The question of the new flag, that is to say the form and 
appearance it must take, kept us very busy in those days. 
Suggestions poured in from all quarters, which although well 
meant were more or less impossible in practice. The new flag had 
not only to become a symbol expressing our own struggle but on 
the other hand it was necessary that it should prove effective as a 
large poster. All those who busy themselves with the tastes of the 
public will recognize and appreciate the great importance of 
these apparently petty matters. In hundreds of thousands of cases 
a really striking emblem may be the first cause of awakening 
interest in a movement.
For this reason we declined all suggestions from various quarters 
for identifying our movement by means of a white flag with the 
old State or rather with those decrepit parties whose sole political 
objective is the restoration of past conditions. And, apart from 
this, white is not a colour capable of attracting and focusing 
public attention. It is a colour suitable only for young women's 
associations and not for a movement that stands for reform in a 
revolutionary period.
Black was also suggested – certainly well­suited to the times, but 
embodying no significance to empress the will behind our 
movement. And, finally, black is incapable of attracting 
attention.
White and blue was discarded, despite its admirable æsthetic 


appeal – as being the colours of an individual German Federal 
State – a State that, unfortunately, through its political attitude of
