It all depends on what you mean by "most historical." The oldest flag that is today a Naional Flag is that of Denmark. Germany has probably had the most historical debates surrounding its flag especially during the 1840's and 1920's. The flag of the USA has probably had more historical books written about it.

Denmark and Switzerland; they are of two different designs
The Danish cross is the same as used in the flags of Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden all in different colours. It is basically a Latin Cross laying on its side.
The Swiss flag I believe is square with equal sided white (Greek) cross in the middle. The reverse of the Swiss flag is used by the Red Cross.

The closest to an answer would be the flag used during the Kalmar Union from 1397 to 1523, which unified present day Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, along with parts of Finland and Northern Germany. In the style of the Nordic cross flags still used in all Nordic countries, the Kalmar flag was a red cross on a yellow background. However, this design has no usage in contemporary Scandinavia.

The danish flag 'Dannebrog' (the name is assumed to mean the 'Red cloth') has its origin in the time of the crusades - not to the Holy Land, but to the eastern shores of the Baltic sea. Here the Danish kings in 12th and 13th century attacked pagan Slavonic tribes with papal approval and converted them 'by the sword'. At the same time and in the same regions German knights did the very same, and most likely the Danish flag is inspired by the crosses of the German knights - perhaps the entire design is 'stolen' from a specific order.
The official legend says that the flag fell from the sky as a sign from God during a tough battle against the pagans in Estonia in 1219, but it actually seem to predate that battle.
Dannebrog, which by the way is the world oldest state flag still in use, replaced the red raven flag used by the Viking kings. The cross design of the Danish flag has formed model for the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Icelandic national flags.
