Hitler's Savage Canary: A History of the Danish Resistance in World War II
Autor David Lampe, Birger Riis-Jørgensenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2014
Regular boat services ran between Sweden, Denmark, and Britain. German ships could not move out of ports, and troops were stymied again and again by the sabotage of railways and air bases. Most amazing of all was the transportation of some 7,000 Danish Jews to safety in Sweden. They were not trained; they were not soldiers. They were simply ordinary citizens who refused to stand idly by and witness an atrocity.
The story of the selfless courage and daring should inspire countless future generations.
