Soon, the US-American actor Tom Cruise in many scenes of the film "Valkyrie" actively. The world will believe that the assassination by German officier Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg is the only action of the German resistance against Hitler regime. Oh yeee, film manifactory "Holywood"!

A part of the national resistance was also the National Committee for a Free Germany.  This committee used a flag, better a flagoid.
The National Committee for a Free Germany (German: Nationalkomitee Freies Deutschland, or NKFD) was a German anti-Nazi organization that operated in the Soviet Union during World War II.

At the wishes of the majority of the anti-communist ideologically oriented German officers to meet, as the red- white-black flag of the German Reich was the emblem of the NKFD . Added was the inscription "Freies Deutschland" (Free Germany) in black fracture letters. Initially it was thought the black-red-gold flag of the Weimar Republic as a liberal symbol. This was not at the communists and liberals liking. It also adopted the old "Bismarck"-flag for the committeee. That was also a "German flag dispute" in the war prison camps in the Soviet Union.
