Sorry, I didn’t get the joke. Thank your for your explanation.
The battle flag of East Frisia, a German region, supposedly shows a white eagle on a white background.

At the risk of over-explaining -
I think the other commenter was (possibly) kidding about it being a white flag, because over here (US) the only place most of us have seen a white flag used to surrender is in cartoons and such for the most part. (I think this is probably true elsewhere today also.)
I was surprised when I learned they really had used a white flag to surrender at Appomattox and that (out of disdain for the confederates) I find it super amusing that the white flag they used was literally a dishtowel they had on hand.
