Awesome picture! Tho I support the Sachsen side sorry :P

Did u know that Tolkien made lord of the rings, to create a germanic epos for Britain?
He learned Old-English, Gothic and some German and searched in old germanic and german
legends for his book. For example Gandalf is inspired by a Wanderer on a german painting from Swabia.
The ring is from the holy book of the germanics, the Edda, as the ring "Draupnir".
And Elves, dwarfs etc. are very germanic anyway, even using runes^^
