To the Editor:
In her charming article “My Father Was a Doctor” (January) Helen Ratnoff Plotz makes a slight mistake. The flag of the Weimar Republic (and now again of the West German Bundesrepublik) was not, as she writes, Black-White-Red but rather Black-Red-Gold. The German nationalist parties consistently refused to accept the flag of the Republic and, in fact, referred to the Gold often in obscene terms.
