	Federal Coat of Arms of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eagle is the heraldic animal of the coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Germany.
		To the Germanic tribes the eagle was the bird of the god Odin, and by the Romans, too, it was revered as the symbol of the supreme god, of the emperor and of invincibility.
		The eagle was retained during the German Empire (1871-1918) and the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), albeit with variations in symbolic meaning and design.

	AASR Monthly Article: The Double-Headed Eagle (August 2001)
		In a sense, the eagle is a counterpart of the lion: Just as the lion is commonly regarded in folklore as the king of the beasts, the eagle is regarded as the king of birds.
		The "Eagle Displayed," that is, with extended wings, as if in the act of flying, has always, from the majestic character of the bird, been deemed an emblem of imperial character.
		It is, however, agreed by all that while the single-headed eagle denotes imperial dignity, the extension of that dignity is symbolized by the two heads.

		As the western occupation zones moved to unity in the last years of the 1940s, it became obvious that the governmental entity which would develop would adopt the fl-red-gold of the Weimar Republic and indeed, it was established as the National Flag on 9 May 1949, two weeks before the Federal Republic came into existence.
		It was adopted in 1848, and abolished in 1852; readopted as the flag of the Weimar Republic on August 11th 1919, and abolished and replaced by the Third Reich flag March 12th 1933.
		It was used by the German Democratic Republic until 1959, but had added to it a coat of arms from 1959 to 1989, when the Germanies were reunited.

		Before I continue with the 1937 issue of the Order of the German eagle, Kevin has posted what THE DRITTE REICH published in 1937 when the order was established showing the various classes.

		I read with interest the discussion on the Eagle Order, and was particularly glad to see the photos of the Todt pillow and the explanation of the order by Hitler.
		Also, in years of reading German documents I have noted that the people in power were seldom so technically gifted and precise with nomenclature as collectors (translate this to it didn't matter to them and their colleagues---they all knew what they meant).
		When Hitler said the German Order or one of its equivalents, he meant the one, the only, the greatest, the highest award any German could receive for furthering the National Socialist cause.

		“So you speak German,” said the commissionaire significantly; “I thought as much.” The soldiers looked at their Lebel rifles as though the not unpleasant duty of making them speak for France would soon be theirs.
		In their eyes now I was a German spy and Marie was my accomplice.
		The commissionaires examined the papers, smiled as graciously as before they had frowned and, with the crestfallen soldiers resuming their old look of boredom, they disappeared as mysteriously as they had come.

		In the fighting German and Belgian troops had already been pushed up against this line. Here they were greeted with the challenge: “Lay down your arms. This is the neutral soil of Holland.” Thus many were interned until the end of the war.
		When we drove down from the hill into Eysden, we were in the midst of these peasants, fleeing before the red wrath rolling up into the sky. They came shambling in with a few possessions on which they had hurriedly laid their hands, singly or in families, a pitiful procession of the disinherited.
		On the other side of Vise nothing had availed to stay the wrath of the Germans. Flags of truce made of sheets and pillow-cases and white petticoats were hung out on poles and broom handles; but many of these houses before which they hung had been burned to the ground as had the others.
