Dear, the german flag has incorrect colors. It should be (from top to bottom) Black red yellow.

For future reference, Kaiser-Wilhelmsland was administered by the German Empire. Not the present-day Federal Republic of Germany. --NFSreloaded (talk) 18:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've updated this file so the boundary between the German and British parts better matches the shape of the territories on the more professionally drawn map at File:Map-Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land-und-Bismarck-Archipel.png (see right). According to http://www.peter-hug.ch/lexikon/kaiserwilhelmsland and http://www.retrobibliothek.de/retrobib/seite.html?id=111838 the border, starting from the east coast, followed the 8th parallel to the 147th meridian, from where it continued in a north-westerly direction.
