The Giant-Killers: The story of the Danish Resistance Movement, 1940-1945
In April 1940 Hitler's forces invaded Denmark. The occupation came as a complete shock to the Danes, but when the stunned population recovered, they lost no time in shaping themselves into a defiant Resistance Movement.
As the war progressed and German terrorism intensified, the Danes suffered cruelly: prisoners were murdered and their bodies thrown into the streets; men and women were shot down in their homes or tortured diabolically by the Gestapo. And with every outrage, the will and spirit of the Resistance was strengthened...
THE GIANT KILLERS is the story of Denmark's five finest years... a story of heroism and endurance, adventure and tragedy.
