The Danish Resistance Movement was a group of individuals and organizations in Denmark that opposed the German occupation during World War II. This movement began in 1940 and included various activities such as sabotage, intelligence gathering, and helping Jewish people escape to safety. Members of the resistance often worked in secret, risking their lives to undermine the German forces. They played a crucial role in gathering information for the Allies and disrupting German operations, contributing to the eventual liberation of Denmark in 1945. Their efforts are remembered as a significant part of Denmark's history during the war.
