Borderlands of the Danes

By: Becca Denmark’s currency is the Danish krone. The territory of Denmark in-cludes the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The Faroe Islands became a self governing territory within the Danish state in 1948. Denmark’s area is 16,640 square miles. Religion is not a big deal to the Danes. “Borderlands of the Danes” is what Denmark means. Denmark’s flag is named Dannebrog. One of the oldest na-tional flags in the world

is the Dannebrog. The Dannebrog is a red flag with a white Scandina-vian cross, the vertical line in the cross is slightly to the left of the flag. The Danish Army’s are known to have used the raven banner, prior to the use of their flag, the Dannebrog. Denmark pos-

sessed great power of

the Jutland Peninsula,

southern Sweden, and

the island Zealand dur-

ing the time of the Vi-

kings (9th-11th centuries).

For almost 30 years King

Canute united Denmark

and England in the early

11th century.

Denmark in

the 1940’s By: Ari

The fashion in Den-

mark in the1940’s was

old fashioned, the

or in a bun.

Their dresses were

very dark colored. They

wore stockings under

their dresses, and sun-

hats when it was sunny.

They wore platform

shoes or a 1 inch heel.

The women covered

most of their skin.

The men were very

sophisticated. They

mostly wore suits and

nice top-hats.

The children wore

uniforms to school, the

their uniforms; the girls

wore grey skirts, blouses

The Resistance Group

By: Anna

The Danish Resistance movement was an under-ground insurgency move-ment to resist the German occupation of Denmark during World War 2.The Resistance group was full of stealing and sabotage and they got captured and sometimes killed for their bravery and courage.

Immediately after the

occupation there were

some attempts to start up

Resistance and Intelligence

groups. Intelligence offi-

cers from the Danish

army, known as “the

princes” channeled reports

to London as early as

April 13, 1940. Ebbe Munk,

a journalist, arranged to

be transferred to Stoek-

holm- the largest city in

Sweden- where he could be

more easily reported to the

British.
