According to legend the flag fell from the sky during the battle of Battle of Lyndanisse(1219) at a crucial point and because of it the Danes won. All the nordic countries have the same design on their flags apart from color, the design is called the Nordic Cross

Well, it's name is "Dannebrog" and means - "Danish cloth" or "Beautiful linen". It is meant to have fallen from the heaven during a battle in Estonia in 1219. It was a crusade undertaken by Denmark. (Which is one of the oldest countries in the world. We had England, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland and some of Germany - and Denmark, of course!). Dannebrog is the oldest flag still in use in the world. Dannebrog is a Cross, and Sweden's, Norway's, Finland's and Iceland's came after ours. Dannebrog was the inspiration.

Nothing, it is a flag that is rumored to have fallen during the war in Estland. Denmark's flag is the oldest state flag in the world that is still being used, and a lot of other flags have been using the same style as Denmark. It's just a pattern. Nothing more.
