On April 9, 1940, the Danish Armed Forces were ready to meet the Germans, as the Nazis were approaching the border between Denmark and Germany in Southern Jutland. The sun had bare risen over the horizon. Frost was still on the ground in the early morning hours, as Ole Bjørnsen's group rushed on their bike cycles to take in their position. Two Hours later, unbeknownst to the group, the Danish King Christian X was forced to capitulate, in agreement with the Danish Government, the German Military leadership over German troops. The Danish World War II Veteran, Ole Bjørnsen (1919 - 2018), talks in his memoirs about his experiences conscription from 1939 to 1940 when Denmark prepared for invasion. He recounts the events from April 9, 1940 when Nazi Germany attacked his beloved fatherland, the five dark years of the German Occupation of Denmark, his involvement in the Danish Resistance Group, and the Liberation on May 5, 1945. Ole Bjørnsen's memoirs has been written in the nick of time. This book is dedicated to the memory of Ole Bjørnsen, members of the Danish Armed Forces who served Denmark on the day of the attack and during the Occupation, as well as the thousands of Danes who became victims of the atrocities of the Nazi Germans and the oppressive socialism Adolf Hilter's regime caused.
