We must be willing to have courage and fight evil wherever we may find it.

This visit was to a part of the Atlantic Wall in Frederikshavn, Denmark.  This is part of the military defensive wall Hitler put up around Europe to keep the Allies from liberating Europe and defeating the Nazis.  We visited with a Dane at this site who said he was six years old when the Nazis marched into his hometown in Denmark.  It was a fearful time, but the Danish people rallied behind their king to defend the Jews and most Jews in Denmark were saved unlike much of the rest of Europe.  Even the king helped finance the transport of Danish Jews to safety in unoccupied Sweden.


Because of the stand of the king, Danish Jews were not forced to wear the Star of David.  A 1942 British report claimed the king threatened to don the star if this was forced upon Danish Jews.  Good people must rally together today as well to defeat the evil plans of Satan.
During the German occupation of Denmark, the King's daily ride through Copenhagen became a symbol of Danish sovereignty. This picture was taken on his birthday in 1940. Note that he is not accompanied by a guard.
