The Democratic Women's Federation of Germany (Demokratischer Frauenbund Deutschlands or DFD) claimed to be the speaker of working women, de facto just another SED satellite.

A blue flag with DFD symbol in center. The symbol showed the letters DFD, white on blue. While the symbol was commonly used as a button, the flag probably only existed as a paper waving element [i.e. little paper flags] like the flags of the block parties.

According to Günther 2000 the ratio between the 'DFD' logo and the flag length is somewhat over 1/3.
