Resistance flag
by Mark Sensen, 08 July 1999
Amsterdam has a special Verzetsvlag ("Resistance flag"): white with the full coat of arms. Such a flag was given in 1947 by Queen Wilhelmina on occasion of the addition of the motto to the coat-of-arms 28 May 1947. This motto Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig ("Heroic, Determined, Merciful") was given to the city for the merit during 1940-1945. This flag is used during WWII-commemorations.
