Ok, so I did a little searching around. That particular eagle is certainly German, but is specifically associated with the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islands were sold to Germany, but relinquished by Germany at the end of World War I. This is where the eagle starts popping up in Marshall Islands history. ([url=http://marshall.csu.edu.au/Marshalls/html/Flags_and_Seals/Flags2.html]Source[/url]: See "German Colonial Period") That said, the German eagle (of any variation) started to show up when Charlemagne was crowned. ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler]Source[/url]) I'm excited about this new connection, especially the Marshall Islands part. The city on the map that SonicJohn and others were piecing together is, as we understand it, Puerto Princesa in the Philippines. The Marshall Islands are on the other side of the Philippines from Puerto Princesa, to the far east in what's called "Micronesia." this is mainly just coincidence, but we are in general southeast Asia. Long story short, the Marshall Islands might be relevant, or that variation of the German eagle was chosen for its artistic appeal.

The credit for making the connection goes to King Leopold789: [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] King Leopold789 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Elem3nt 117 There's nothing generic about a man wearing an armour holding a long-range weapon, wearing a Bane-like mask and to top it off, wearing a red cape with an anglo-saxon crest on it.[/quote]that is actually a german eagle from the HRE, NOT anglo-saxons..
