Which way should the eagle face?
"By an Act of 15 September 1935, the flag with the swastika became the official flag of the German state. In addition and pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 of the decree, the Interior Minister and Deputy Fuhrer arranged the eagle of the Reich (Reichsadler) would have the head pointing toward your right, while the eagle of the NSDAP ( Parteiadler), it would to his left.

The use of the eagle of the Reich (Reichsadler) corresponded to those institutions that, like the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry or the Police, were organs of state, on the contrary, the Eagle Party (Parteiadler) should be used by institutions linked to the NSDAP, such as the SS." punkyto at  http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=126282&p=1376022&hilit=+ribbentrop#p1373114
