Countrymen

Countrymen is a remarkable and never-before-researched story of how the Danish people banded together to save their fellow Jews from the Nazis during World War II. This story of ordinary glory and moral fortitude is told through unpublished diaries and documents, offering a comprehensive overview of occupied Denmark's historical importance to Hitler as a prop for the model Nazi state. Courageously coming to aid, the Danish people stood up in defiance and resisted, making it possible for a small and fragile democracy to stand against the Third Reich.
