The Minister of Defence
This flag was formerly that of the Minister of the Navy. The emblem remains the same: Crowned anchor with a bar and rope/chain.
The state flag with a square white panel over the middle of the cross
containing the anchor as in the auxiliary naval ensign. (this crowned anchor
must be the badge of the Ministry of Defence). Supposing that the flag would be
used mostly on naval ships only, the dark red would be the rule.

Flagbog labels this flag "Fosvarsministeriet" (the Ministry of Defence),
assigning it to the whole organisation, rather than just the one man. It agrees
with our image, but has a blue anchor with a fatter, and white, cross bar, and a red rope coiling
quite differently, though still giving the same impression.

Flaggenbuch (1939) shows a 56:107
flag, the design of which we know already, however, the anchor artwork is here
yet different from the other sources we have (and is all golden, no blue). The
caption provide a long list who use these ensign.

The state flag with two white staffs in saltire in the
first quarter. Whether these staffs are sceptres or marshal batons, I can't say,
but in
Album des Pavillons (2000) they are
considerably different from what is shown here (much thinner).
