"The bourgeoisie—which, as a party, neither represents nor advocates any worldview—had therefore no flag of its own. Their party consisted of ‘patriots’ who went around in the Reich colors. If these colors were the symbol of a definite worldview, then one could understand the rulers of the State regarding this flag as expressive of it, seeing that, through their efforts, the official Reich flag came to symbolize their own worldview.
But this wasn’t the case... ...it was merely a State flag, possessing no importance in the sense of any particular philosophical mission.
This was also the reason why we National Socialists recognized that hoisting the old flag would not symbolize our own activity. We had no wish to resurrect the old Reich from the dead, which had been ruined through its own blunders, but to build up a new State."
