~Denmark saved over 95% of the Danish Jews from the Holocaust.
~Danish Resistance never let up.
~They defied most curfew orders of the Nazis.
~They did not give in to "collective responsibility".
~King Christian marched through the streets of Copenhagen with no guards as often as he could to give the Danish people hope.
~Sabotage prevented most Danish resources from ever getting to Germany.
