The head on American eagle symbols traditionally face to the right (the viewer's left) to symbolize peace. As on the Presidential Seal, many American eagle symbols show the eagle clutching olive branches (peace) in the right talon and arrows (war) in the left talon. The head always faces the olive branches indicating the desire for peace. Some exceptions are made for rank, such as the US Army Colonel, where a set of eagles are worn on the collars or shoulders and the symbols are always worn with the head facing forward. This would mean one head would be facing left with the other facing right.

As far as German eagle symbols, during the Third Reich period, the German eagle head faced the right (viewer's left) representing the Nazi Parteiadler (Party Eagle). Once adopted as the national symbol, the head of the "Reichsadler" (Empire Eagle)was changed to face the left.
