Danish volunteers joined Allied air forces after Denmark surrendered, shaping global resistance and air power.
On 9 April 1940, German forces invaded Denmark. Within hours and without a real fight, the government capitulated, co-operating with the Nazis to retain some semblance of governmental control. But not everyone accepted the surrender. Abroad, Danes mobilised to fight back. Men and women--whether escapees from Denmark, involuntarily exiles or emigrants--turned up at recruiting offices around the world, volunteering to fight for Denmark's freedom. Over 250 volunteered for the Allied air forces.
Revised and updated with new research, this edition of Britain's Victory, Denmark's Freedom: Danish Volunteers in Allied Air Forces during the Second World War is the definitive account of Denmark's contribution to Allied air power in battles fought across the globe.
