I also find it amusing that I am typing up this review while watching the
Denmark vs England Euro Semi-final. Go
Denmark!
During
the Second World War, the Nazis occupied Denmark. What most people, in particularly people in
the US know about this occupation, can usually be summed up by some like non
Jewish Danes ferried their Jewish citizens out of Denmark. That’s pretty much it. Yet there is so much more to the history of
Denmark during WWII.
While
this official report that not oriented on the Danish resistance but on SOE involvement
in either supporting the Resistance or those in exile. The tone is rather dry; after all it is an official
report. It does shed detail on the operations
as well as those who took part in them. The
reader gets a sense of the various operations and people who battled against
the Nazis.
I do
wish in some places there are more details, in particular when discussing Danish
Resistance members who had been killed by the Nazis, leading to a Danish reaction
and recommitment to resist.
Yet, there
is much here for the student of history and the appendices are worth reading.
