1942-43: Resistance |
Danish  |
Sabotage |
|
 |
| In 1942, the illegal Communists were the first to take up the blowing up of factories working for the German war effort. The importance of sabotage lay not only in the damage inflicted, but also in the fact that it put pressure on the official Danish-German relationship. |

In 1942, the first contacts were established between Danish parachute agents from the British organisation SOE and the resistance movement in being. From 1943 on, SOE supplied sabotage equipment and weapons for the Resistance.

August 1943 |
|
|
| In the spring of 1943, conditions were calm enough to allow a general election being held. But in August of that same year, riots in several provincial towns led to the fall of the government, and the Germans introduced martial law. |
