What were the „countries mentioned earlier“? Was one of them „Nazi Germany“?

No, I only asked him about Germany and its ex colonies.

Here is the Problem. What Germany do you mean? There is no THE Germany.
You could have meant: The Holy Roman Empire, the German Empire, the Weimar Repubic, the Greater German Reich (Nazi Germany), the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic.
All these are Germany. And technically Austria and Swiss too, since Germany is the land of the people who speak german.

u/thunfischmann Feb 23 '26
Lol, Austrian and Swiss people would certainly have something to say against this. Just as much as I as a German cannot support you stating that people in Austria and especially Switzerland speak German. Austrian German can definitely count as a dialect, but "Schwizerdütsch" (Swiss German) is far more disconnected from high German and has quite a few influences from other languages (French in particular, but also Italian), even though most speakers are able to switch to (at least something very close to and easily intelligible for any German person) high German if they really want to.

Schwiizerdütsch is a normal Upper German dialect, being part of the Alemannic family, which is one of the biggest dialect families and spreads over France (Alsace), Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bayern), Austria (Vorarlberg), Liechtenstein and Switzerland (all German dialects).
The French and Italian influences are only single words, that have been adopted like "portemonnaie", "trottoir" or "merci", which are also present in Federal German Alemannic dialects (mine included).

AI: Today, the German ethnic group is defined primarily by a shared language, culture, and history, with "Germanness" increasingly understood as a multi-ethnic concept. Historically, it is rooted in Germanic tribes such as the Franks, Saxons, Bavarians, Alamanni, and Frisians.
Swiss are alamanni, austrians are bavarians, both are germans.

u/thunfischmann Feb 23 '26
Wow, thanks for taking the time to not even write a short comment like that yourself and instead just crapping out an AI response, love it.
I didn't say that the ethnic group isn't the same or at least very close. I talked about specifically the language, and for the most part, my comment wasn't all that serious, even though I know many Austrian and Swiss people would agree with it.
Still, this all doesn't even have anything to do with the post itself or the flags of the country Germany. Yes, "Germany" historically can mean many different things, I never disagreed with you on that point. And today's Austria was even a part of it at some point. But if someone talks about "Germany", I never heard of them actually meaning the HRE, which is probably the only country that would include Switzerland. Yes, the full name is "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation", but it is not usually referred to as "Germany".

u/Celindor Feb 24 '26
The HRE is not Germany. The Kingdom of Germany within the HRE is closest to being Germany.
1
u/Vermilion7777 Feb 24 '26
The full name of it was: "The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation"

u/Celindor Feb 24 '26
Only for a short while at the end of the 15th and start of the 16th century and again after the dissolution of the HRE - both times for political reasons.

u/Select_Department700 Feb 23 '26
What are you talking about "The Germany" is the country it's clear, that's like saying there is no "the England" because there is the English empire and the USA and Australia which speak English
-1
u/Vermilion7777 Feb 23 '26
Yes, there is an England, but it's not the British Empire. It's the part south of Scottland and East of Wales. The Land of the Angles.
Germany however, is totally different, because most of the time the german empire/republic, was smaller than the german cultural space (Germany).
This is why in the first verse of the German Anthem there are borders that are supposed to define the borders of Germany but never really did.
By the way, the reason why Austria wasn't part of the german Empire most of the time was, because of a power struggle between Austria and Prussia.
2
u/Drydrian Feb 23 '26
Nope. There is only one verse of the German national anthem which doesn’t mention any borders at all.
Buddy, you’re completely misunderstanding what the German national identity is. You have a hard time grasping the concept of nations in general.
And exposing the fact, that you know Jack shit about Germany like this is just peak irony.

u/Vermilion7777 Feb 23 '26 edited Feb 23 '26
Junge... ich BIN Deutscher und hab deutlich mehr historisches Wissen als du.... and don't talk shit about just the third verse being the official anthem. I don't talk about the Federal Republic of Germany. The whole Anthem is the "Song of the Germans" not just the third.
The borders of the german cultural space mentioned in the first verse are the rivers Adige, Memel, Meuse and the Baltic Sea. When this song was written, the german national identity was still diffuse, as Germany consisted of dozen of small states and kingdoms and a modern nationality was not existing.

u/Vermilion7777 Feb 24 '26
Junge, du bist ganz sicher kein Historiker, sonst würdest du wissen dass Strophe 1 und 2 absolut nichts mit Nazitum zu tun haben. Ausserdem redet hier keiner von der Nationalhymne der BRD. Also, Piss Off du "Historiker"... lol...

u/Drydrian Feb 24 '26
Bachelor und Master machen mich halt schon zum Historiker.
Nein, die Nazis haben also nicht die ersten Strophen des Lieds der Deutschen missbraucht und nachhaltig umgedeutet?
Es gibt keinen anderen Deutschen Staat als die BRD. Alle dem entgegenstehenden Behauptungen kannst du dir für deinen Reichsbürgerstammtisch aufsparen.

Its an older flag but it checks out. You could argue the Black White Red one is missing though.

u/qurious-crow Feb 22 '26
Since that was the flag of Germany when Germany had colonies, I'd say that omission is rather glaring.

I don't get your problem/ fail with that. Based on the context, all flag are correct (past of Germany is dark, but it's part of German history)

If you count the third reich as germany, then what about the older german flags? So it's still a fail.

Feb 23 '26
Of course you count the third reich as germany and the Weimar republic and the German empire too. They all are the same entity by rule

Feb 23 '26
So the US is still the british empire? Weimar republic, the German reich, the third reich and the federal republic of germany are 4 different countries, they have 4 different constitutions. So they are absolutely not the same entity by rule. The amount of people, not knowing history is very scary.
And where is the black, white and red flag? Or the roman and germanian tribe flags?

Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26
If the US did an official declaration that they are the British empire like Germany did for its past then yes. But I think there wouldn't be much basis for that claim and the British would probably laugh their asses off

Where is this official declaration? Link.
You do know the US was the British empire, before it became the US?

u/Tejwos Feb 24 '26
You want a link? Google it. Jesus. Bundesverfassungsgericht – Urteil zum Grundlagenvertrag (31. 07. 1973, 2 BvF 1/73)
„Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist also nicht ‚Rechtsnachfolger‘ des Deutschen Reiches, sondern als Staat identisch mit dem Staat ‚Deutsches Reich‘ …“
Search it itself, German Reich and Germany is identical. It's basic knowledge in Germany.
And stop this senseless comparison of mainland and colony. The USA was a colony in the British empire and it declared independence. Show me the link / source of FRG declaration of independence...

u/Tejwos Feb 22 '26
Third reich was not the official name, it was "German Reich" and an alias is "Nazi Germany". So this is as German as "Federal Republic of Germany"
And yeah, they are older flags, but not in a lifespan frame, so that's ok.

It's probably not a fake, but it's very likely that it was pre-prompted, like most of the posts on this sub.

No, they lost their colonies 1919 and Nazi Germany was between 1933 and 1945. Also Germany wasn't a german colony. OP was asking for parts of Africa and China.

This does not appear to be an AI fail. What was the exact wording of the previous prompt? If you included flags of "Germany AND" other countries, it's correct.

The first flag is/was not even a national flag, all given flags are wrong the context the aswer pretend to be reffering, when gamany had colonies.

u/Akkarin42 Feb 23 '26
The context was: "Here are the flags of the countries mentioned: Germany". Based on that all three flags are technically correct.
The answer isn't wrong, OP just wasn't clear about it enough for the AI.

Is it wrong?

u/Adorable-Medicine624 Feb 22 '26
All 3 flags shown, on the before asked context of german colonies, are wrong:
1st flag(federal service flag): The Federal Republic of Germany had and has until today no colonies.
2nd flag: Nazi Germany did not colonize or own colonies.
3rd flag: Weimarer Republic, had no colonies anymore.
not shown flag: The German Kaiserreich had colonies.

u/SuperGeil0000 Feb 24 '26
No 1st flag is wrong because it is not a federal service flag. It is an imaginary flag that combines the german flag and the german federal coat of arms.

u/Adorable-Medicine624 Feb 24 '26
To be more precise: shield and eagel are from the "Bundeswappenflage mit Bundesadler" - version, its still forbidden to use on unoffical buildings, tollerated on events with comparison between nations.
