By memory? The current flag, the East German flag and the WWII Nazi flag. I knew the German Navy had their own flag during WWII, but I couldn't remember what it looked like. I did know East Germany had the official name of "German Democratic Republic" even though it was far from being a democratic country.

In the West we said:

"Either you ARE democratic, or you call yourself so!"

The top of this link has a photo with dots showing where these camps were. It's a bit misleading because some of these facilities were medical camps which held prisoners who needed medical attention.

German Flag Colors​

The color used in the flag is referred to as gold, not yellow. Conservatives, monarchists, and members of the far right criticized the black-red-gold tricolor when it was chosen as the Weimar Republic’s flag, calling the colors Schwarz-Rot-Gelb (black-red-yellow) or even Schwarz-Rot-Senf (black–red–mustard).

The Nazis quickly reinstated the black-white-red colors of Imperial Germany before 1918, and their propaganda apparatus proceeded to disparage the Schwarz-Rot-Gold by employing the same pejorative phrases that the monarchists had previously employed.

The use of “black-red-yellow” and similar terms had become illegal, according to the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof), after “years of Nazi agitation.” The German colors are black-red-yellow, but they are termed “black-red-gold,” as heraldist Arnold Rabbow once again stated in 1968.

It shows the English side of the code breaking game. Obviously it's tied to the German messages being sent and received by Enigma machines.
