black red and gold was from 1848 i read. German Confederation pre world war 1. Anyway despite that, thats not the point. The point is, NAZIISM is not nationalist, it is a socialist religious idedology. Not a country or a nationalist group. WHen invading countrys te Nazi's did NOT raise German flags, they raised NAZI flags.....their NEW religion wiht their Ayatollah type figure The Furor. Hitleer was more a RELIGIOUS leader , a theocratic dictator not a prime minister or president but a religiou leader. Nazisim is a religon.
