The ratio is approximately 3:5. The flag is white with a Dannebrog in canton. The central charge is a white armed arm coming out of clouds of greyish blue, holding four grey thunderbolts and two flames proper. Beneath is an inscription in red initials "TERROR IN HOSTES" (= (put) fear into the enemies).
