Which flag to use?

Until 15 September 1935 there was a duel-flag arrangement where both the old empire flagNazi Germany and a swastika flag with a central disc23x15px were authorised for use as a national flag of Germany. From 15 September 1935 the swastika flag with a central disc remained the flag of the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party and a swastika flag with an off-centred disc23x15px became the national flag of Germany, use of the old empire flag was no longer authorised.

For the period with the duel-flag arrangement the empire flag can to an extent be considered a non-political flag that was familiar to people because of its historical usage, whereas the swastika flag with a central disc was very closely associated with the new regime.
