VtwinVince Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's interesting. My aunt's brother in law was from Apenrade, and was KIA in the Waffen-SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes, but WWII was quite a different story. Joining the Germans (now being the enemy as opposed to WWI where we were neutral) was entirely those people's own decision.And no Iron Cross (or any other German WWII decoration) was ever permitted to be worn in Denmark./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think many Germans regarded the Danes as close cousins, and the ties between the two countries cannot be discounted. I believe Graf von Moltke the elder was an officer in a Danish regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
