Best Answer

Black was somewhat a national colour for Prussia. Their symbol was the black eagle and their uniforms sported black as well. Their battle standards were probably black, so raise high the black flags probably means that they should raise their battle banners and flags. Armies in those days carried a lot of flags as also seen in the movie.
