the Fokker Eindecker EIII seems to have been equipped with either a Garuda or an Germania Propeller. Does anyone know if either offered a performance advantage/tradeoff? if so what was it?

According to a NASA article the low RPM engine dictated the large propeller blade style. The Germania seems slightly more sophisticated in shape. However I'm not sure how effective these elements are at the RPM they're employed. I'd say the Germania is better at take off and climb however the Garuda is better for cruise. This is based upon material I've read on fixed pitch props. The debate goes on.
