Zwolle is in the capital of the province of capital Overijssel in the
Netherlands. The flag I saw them use, was blue with a broad centred white
cross. In [sie62] Sierksma 1962, the cross
is narrower (proportions about 2:3). I think the flag is based on the arms
(a white cross on blue).

According to [vxn] Vexilla Nostra
no. 158 the flag of Zwolle was adopted 28 may 1962. The cross 3/30th of
the flagheight. I don't know if that's correct because 1) why not
say 1/10 instead of 3/30 and 2) the cross on the arms are broad.
