The German army was at it strongest when it invaded Denmark in april 1940. It only took a few hours for Denmark to surrender and begin a political cooperation with the German civil and military administration. The following five years were some of the most dramatic in the history of Denmark. I am a history journalist and author, who has written a lot about the occupation. On this private tour of Copenhagen, I will tell you about the dramatic years under German occupation and show you some of the places related to the period. On the tour, you will also see many of the main sights of Copenhagen - so it will be a two-for-one-experience. You will hear about both heroes and bad guys; Denmark had a strong resistance movement, but a lot of Danes also went to work for the Germans or fought at the Eastern Front. You'll hear about german terror, the strange politics of the time, daring sabotages, the rescue of the Danish jews as well as more unknown war time stories.
We'll meet at the military headquarter of Kastellet, where Denmark surrendered without a single shot in the morning of April 9th, 1940. Other stops at the tour might include: - The Parliament, home of the political cooperation with Germany - and of a group of illegals printing anti-german leaflets in the basement - Rosengaarden, a pub where a Danish nazi was killed by the resistance movement and Hviids Vinstue, which was bombed by the nazis as retaliation - Shellhuset, the former Gestapo Headquarter that was the center of one of the most daring allied raids in all of the war - The Synagogue - where the Danish jews was warned of their deportation and most were rescued to Sweden - The city court to hear the story of the deportation of the Danish police to concentration camps and the chaos that followed - The place of a failed coup by Danish nazis - and of course, other places related to the resistance, Danes in German service, so called anti socials and other stories from the occupation

We will walk - parts of the inner city are closed to cars, and Copenhagen is best experienced walking. If we'll meet at the cruise terminal or another place of your choice, we might use taxis or public transportation (extra charge).
