    There's actually 6 letters on the top row and 4 on the bottom. The French flag is the letter 'T' in the nautical flags alphabet and in this case is not meant to represent that country. The bottom left flag is National Socialist Germany, and the far right yellow and black diamond shaped flag may represent the flag for German East Africa at that time, but it's hard to make out the inner detail to be absolutely sure but the colours are right for it. Therefore the symbols read 'Germany-TANGANJIKA-German East Africa'.
