Danish Resistance Strikes


Danish Resistance Strikes
A Danish boy flees from the explosion at the Rifle Syndicate Factory. The factory had been supplying the occupying German military with arms and became a target for the Danish Resistance. Members of the BOPA (Borgerlige Partisaner) drove two trucks filled with 400 kg of explosives into the factory and informed the factory workers so that they could escape. Copenhagen, Denmark, June 22, 1944.
