1944-45: Liberation |
Danish  |
The Underground Army |
|
 |
From 1944 onwards, the resistance movement expanded through recruitment for stand-by groups for use upon a possible Allied invasion. In Jutland, railroad saboteurs aimed at giving tactical support to the Allies by delaying transports of German troops for the front.

The Freedom Council |
|
|
| The Freedom Council strengthened its position both as coordinating body of the Resistance and as its political leadership. The Copenhagen city strike in the summer of 1944 showed, that even the population was responsive to the Council’s calls. |

Liberation |
|
|
The Germans surrendered on May 5, 1945, before the fighting reached Denmark. That gave the signal to rejoicing at the regaining of freedom as well as to punishment of guilt and attempts at settling responsibilities.
