Emblem of the German Reich divides date, name of country and date.

Emblem of the German Reich (Reichsadler) is a black eagle above a stylised oak wreath, with a swastika at its centre.

Swastika (卐) is an ancient religious symbol originating from the Indian subcontinent, that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross with four legs each bent at 90 degrees. It is considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism and dates back at least 11,000 years. The name Swastika comes from the Sanskrit word Svastika (Devanagari: स्वस्तिक), and denotes a "lucky or auspicious object". The swastika was adopted by several organizations in pre-World War I-Europe and later, and most notably, by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany prior to World War II. In many Western countries, the swastika has been highly stigmatized because of its association with Nazism. As a result, all of its use, or its use as a Nazi or hate symbol, is prohibited in some countries, including Germany.

Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg, known generally as Paul von Hindenburg (1847–1934) was a Generalfeldmarschall and statesman who commanded the German military during the second half of World War I before later being elected President of the German Reich in 1925. He played the key role in the Nazi "Seizure of Power" in January 1933 when, under pressure, he appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor of a "Government of National Concentration", even though the Nazis were a minority in cabinet.

"The common good before the self good"; Rudolf Jung popularized it in his book Der Nationale Sozialismus, 1922. This became Hitler's basic stance on the subordination of the economy to the national interest.
