Danish bigotry

Now the Danish Nazis and their supporters are out in the open and reclaiming their Germanic roots and seeking to rebuild the 4th Reich.

Denmark’s cooperation with its German occupiers during World War II was “morally unjustifiable”, Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Sunday, August 31, 2003.

Racism in Denmark

On June 19th, 2006, Politiken published an article about racist leaflets that are being handed out, unchallenged, in northern Denmark. They are being given to "foreigners" and are produced by the nazi party of Denmark. The headline says "A Free Denmark." Who will stand by this time and not say a word?
The racism in this country simply gets worse and worse, while the so-called 'creative class' doesn't want to be bothered with these kind of unpleasantries.
The racism has become institutionalized and a part of our everyday culture: as it continues to grow, unchallenged, the messages have become an accepted part of our discourse - the message becomes normalized and we begin to believe that there is a truth in what is being expressed.
It's a con, pure and simple, a ruse, a distraction, a way to make scapegoats out of people who live in this country.
It's not just the nazi's - it's the advertisers, the politicians, the every day people who use racist rhetoric in order to gain an advantage. It shouldn't be this way.

98% of Denmark's Jews survived World War II

Since 1945 the countries invaded and ravaged by Hitler's armies have seen themselves as victims -- which they doubtless were, with their vast numbers of dead. That makes it all the more painful to concede that many compatriots aided the German perpetrators.

In Latvia, local assistance was greater than anywhere else. According to the American historian Raul Hilberg, the Latvians had the highest proportion of Nazi helpers. The Danes are at the other end of the scale. When the deportation of Denmark's Jews was about to begin in 1943, large parts of the population helped Jews to escape to Sweden or hid them. Some 98 percent of Denmark's 7,500 Jews survived World War II. By contrast, only nine percent of the Dutch Jews survived.

It's impressive that local population saved the jews in Denmark, helping them to go to neutral Sweden.

On Simon Wiesenthal's list of the 10 most wanted nazist is the danish nazist Søren Kam, number 4. Does he betrayed his country, in such conditions?

Nazi bunkers surface in Denmark

With a tight grip on his flashlight, Tommy Cassoe looks like a Danish Indiana Jones as he crawls out of a bunker buried under the sand, one of 7,000 the Nazis built along Denmark's western shores to fend off an allied invasion.

"Mission accomplished. The bunker is empty," Cassoe exclaims, showing off his bounty on the Krylen beach to a crowd of onlookers: rusty cans, a plastic vial containing medicine in case of a mustard gas attack, and electrical cables.

Four bunkers entombed under the sand dunes of Houvig since 1945, were uncovered a few months ago in a violent storm, when giant waves swept away the sand, exposing glimpses of the cement and iron structures.

The discovery was "a sensation" for history buffs like Cassoe and archaeologists.

"What's so fantastic is that we found them completely furnished with beds, chairs, tables, communication systems and the personal effects of the soldiers who lived inside," says Jens Andersen, the curator of the Hanstholm museum that specialises in Nazi fortifications.

The Nazis built some 8,000 bunkers in Denmark, 7,000 of them on the western coast. They were "emptied by the Danes of their contents after World War II to salvage the scrap iron and electrical devices that were needed."

The discovery in May of the four fully-furnished bunkers, untouched after 63 years under the sand, is considered "unique in Europe," according to Bent Anthonisen, a Danish expert on European bunkers.

A True Heroine in Nazi Captivity

Ellen Nielsen is an unfamiliar name to most people, but this remarkable woman defied the Nazis and saved the lives of many refugees. She was one of the most dedicated and active workers in aiding Jews during the Nazi occupation of Denmark. Her courage enabled not only the survival of hundreds of Danish Jews but also of the generations of their descendants.

Mrs. Ellen Nielsen lost her husband, Christian Nielsen, in April, 1941, and supported her six children as a fishmonger on the Copenhagen docks, buying fish directly from the fishermen and selling it to passers-by.

During the first week of October 1943, while she was selling fish on the docks, she was approached by two young boys. They told Mrs. Nielsen they were Jewish brothers and asked her to help them escape the Nazis and find a fisherman who would take them to safety in Sweden.

As soon as she heard the story, she offered to hide the boys in her home while she arranged for a boat which would take them to Sweden. In a short time, the boys were safely across the sound in Sweden.

Through the fishermen, the Danish underground learned of Ellen Nielsen's act, and during the following weeks, over a hundred Jewish refugees passed through her home on their way to Sweden. At one time, Mrs. Nielsen had over thirty refugees squeezed into her small house. In addition she hid several saboteurs for the underground ..

In December 1944, Ellen Nielsen was caught by the Nazis, tortured and eventually sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany as prisoner 94.315.

In the book Women in the Resistance and in the Holocaust: The Voices of Eyewitnesses, edited by Vera Laska, the author tells how Ellen Nielsen was condemned to death and placed three times on the line leading to the gas chamber.

The first time she saved herself by bribing a guard with a bar of soap which she had received in a Danish Red Cross parcel. The second time she was able to do the same with the contents of another Danish parcel. The third time she had nothing left with which to bribe the guards. Waiting on the line, stripped naked, she was resigned to death.

Suddenly she was approached by Nazi guards who informed her she had been saved by an agreement between SS Heinrich Himmler and the Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte to have all surviving Danish concentration camp prisoners shipped to Sweden for internment.

Ellen Nielsen was taken to Sweden just before the end of the war.
She returned to Denmark immediately after WW2 and died November 26, 1967 - a true heroine.

PROTECTION OF JEWS

Five countries, including Hungary, initially resisted German demands to deport their Jews. In Finland, only eight Jews were deported before a public outcry resulted in the Finnish Cabinet stopping all further deportations. In Denmark, King Christian X urged all Danes to help save their Jews. Before the deportations were carried out, Danish fishing vessels ferried 7,906 endangered Jews to the safety of neutral Sweden. Sadly around 80 of these Jews were caught sheltering in the church in the fishing village of Gilleleje and were transported to concentration camps. Some 686 of these Danish citizens were Christians married to Jews.

Nazism in Denmark

Nazism is very big in Denmark. This is an interview of the Danish Nazi-leader, who calls himself: Gentlemand Finn (the person with the moustache and cigaratte-holder on the left). Gentlemand Finn´s name is Finn Hansen. His brother are named Jonni and Moses Hansen - Jonni Hansen is also a well-known Nazi-leader, While Moses Hansen is a Bible-nut, to whom the other two brothers selvdom speak.
Gentlemand Finn is here interviewed by Capser Christensen, the most professional and respekted Journalist in Denmark. The program is called "Capser og Mandrilaftalen", and it is a debate-program with all the most important people in the Political Scene in Denmark.
Gentlemand Finn, The Danish Nazi-leader, speaks here about how the Nazis actually control most of Denmark, political and economical. How they are an invisiable force, that control everything. The Nazis have infiltrated all the higher layers of society. Nothing gets approved without their knowledge.
He speaks of how the Fourth Reich will rise from the ashes of the Third, and how the global nazis will control the world with an iron-fist - through the New World Order.
This is all true.
