If the East Prussians (you) are going to have a slogan in German on the flag, it should probably be in Fraktur.
Okay, played around with them a bit more, and taking into account all of these suggestions and notes, I darkened the green to a shade between that of Kenya's green and Tanganyika's green and had the gold run across the whole of the flag at the top, while having the white run across the whole of the flag at the bottom. I kept the ovaloid shapes in the shield in one version and had them solid white (as per Suvareshkin's suggestion) in another. Here are the results:
Flag A
Flag B
Still has the half and half problem.
What's needed is a striped flag that a non kenyan coloured shield can be placed over.
Otherwise it looks bipartite, like Austria-Hungary, rather than a union of several countries.
Using the same stripe pattern I'd say the colours should be blue white green white red (or v.v.) with the shield green black and gold.

Made a quick addition to the flag of the Confederation of Gran Colombia. How does this compare to the previous?
Centering the cluster of stars with the middle stripe would look better, imo. Overall nice design and colors.
At least the chain is. It's very difficult to find good art for stuff like that
(like I found photos of opened shackles but none of them looked like I could turn them into a vector image)Per a scenario described in the map thread, here's two flags I cooked up:
Flag of the German Democratic Republic
Flag of the Danubian People's Republic
Flag of the German Democratic Republic
Flag of the Danubian People's Republic
Nice work, but i have noticed that you used the Imperial flag of Germany on a Communist German flag; so i recommend you change it to either a new design or the Black, Red and Yellow of the Federal Republic of Germany
That would just be OTL east germany. The “imperial” flag makes sense as it’s the Prussian and Hanseatic colors combined

As pretty as the Communist German flag is, @Atlantisa Guard is right. Reusing the imperial flag would not fly for the communists.
That said, here's your regularly scheduled DDR.
If you had an early enough POD you could have the black white red tricolour as the German flag and thus a communist flag might use it. This would have to be in the early 19th century though.
Yeah - using items reminiscent of the Austro-Hungarian flag also wouldn't work theoretically for a communist regime, but admittedly the map/flags and scenario are more "semi-plausible rule of cool" material than anything else. I think the red/white/black combination being not welcome has to do more with the Nazi flag's use of the colors rather than the original German Imperial flag - again, which was little more than a combination of the Hanseatic and Prussian colors.
