TRUTH !!
The national flag of Denmark, Dannebrog, is red with a white Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag; the vertical part of the cross is shifted to the hoist side.
Dannebrog is the oldest state flag in the world still in use, with the earliest undisputed source dating back to the 14th century.
Legend states the origin of the flag to the Battle of Lyndanisse, also known as the Battle of Valdemar (Danish: "Volmerslaget"), near Lyndanisse (Tallinn) in Estonia, on June 15, 1219.
The battle was going poorly, and defeat seemed eminent. But then, right when the Danes were to give up, the flag fell from heaven. Shipping the flag before it could ever touch the ground, the king took it in his hand, and proudly waved it in front of his discouraged troops, giving them hope, and leading them to victory.
The myth is clear. The flag, Dannebrog was giving to the Danes from God himself, and from that day forward, it was the flag of Denmark, and the Danish kings.
