TLF: "... the building was flying three huge banners, reaching from the roof to the ground, yellow, red and blue, the three primary colors. I liked this solution, which replaced the compromise, then common for public buildings, of flying both the official Republican flag (black, red and gold) and the old, Imperial flag (black, white and red) which the Nationalist party had wished back on the hapless Republic which called itself a “Reich."
