This was the first year that Denmark was recognized as an Ally in WWII and as such, was invited to participate in a D-Day memorial. Denmark capitulated quickly after being invaded by German forces! Armed resistance would have been futile. For a few years, Danes were able to keep a bit of self-autonomy. Resistance grew as well. Danes hid and spirited Jews out of the country, saving an incredible 7,200 of 7,800 Jews! Still others, like my Uncle Hans, found other ways and served in the United States Merchant Marine as a Captain. cphpost.dk/news/denmark-finally-recognised-as-d-day-ally.9770.html
