Comments

The royal resolution of 10 November 1939 was for some reason never published in the Norsk Lovtidend (the Norwegian Legal Gazette), but the State Council Secretariat's resolutions protocol confirm that the resolution was passed by the King (Haakon VII). The protocol also shows that the then Crown Prince Olav (later King Olav V) was present at the state council held at the Oslo Palace.

The text of the resolution is taken from the said protocol, but the headline is the website editor's own making, partly based on the headline in the above-mentioned note of 31 October 1939.

The resolution was an amendment to the flag regulations of 21 October 1927 No. 9733 Art. 4 (consolidated version; last time modified by res. 3 Dec 2004 No. 1542).
