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. AUTHOR: Mikkel Plannthin was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1973. He has been researching Danes in the Royal Air Force and other Second World War Allied air forces for nearly fifteen years, and has a unique knowledge on this subject. He is the author of a number of aviation articles in Danish and the creator of danishww2pilots.dk, a website commemorating these men and women. 30 b/w illustrations
