Agreed. I propose to remove or shorten it. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 02:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

A bit about the symbolism of the flag:

As National Socialists, we see our program in our flag. In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic.

I changed, "Following the election of Adolf Hitler..." to "Following the appointment of Adolf Hitler..." Hitler was not elected Chancellor of Germany. He ran for President and lost to Hindenburg. Hindenburg later appointed Hitler as Chancellor. Source: Adolf Hitler by John Toland. -- 24.9.0.220 17:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)TomZC
