I find the wording on this flag intriguing - was it common for DDR organisations
to refer to themselves as the "German organisation of the DDR"? It seems
tautological.

The word "German" refers to the German nationality. The abbreviation
"GDR" refers to the souverain state of a "German Democratic Republic".
I remember a fact which the word "Germany" refers to the "Federal Republic
of Germany".

the name Nordostdeutsche Fußballverband (translation: Northeastern German
