#danmarksbefrielse

May 4 1945 Danes took to the streets of Copenhagen to celebrate their liberation.   Exactly 72 years ago on Thursday, Denmark was liberated from German occupation and light returned to Danish cities after five years of darkness. “At this moment, it is being announced that Montgomery has stated that the German troops in the Netherlands, northwest Germany and Denmark have surrendered. This is London. We repeat: Montgomery has just now announced that the German troops in the Netherlands, northwest Germany and Denmark have surrendered.”

For befrielsen. 🇩🇰 #liberation #2ndworldwar #ww2 #danmarksbefrielse (Ørestad) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xy-aRBDPH/?igshid=1wfkb77677en5

Danmarks befrielse 75 år siden (Denmark's Liberation Day) 4 May 1945 was the day when the Danes got the message on the radio about the liberation of Denmark from Germany during Second World War, after the German occupation since 9 April 1940. This meant that the Danes no longer had to use heavy black curtains to keep the light from getting out of their houses. People flocked into the streets, waving the Danish flag “Dannebro” and burned their black curtains. Many lighted candles on their windows. Therefore, if you see candles on the windows in the evening of 4 May, it is because Danes celebrate and commemorate this day. The message about the Danish liberation went out on 4 May, but the official liberation day is 5 May. #danmarksbefrielse #4maj1945 #Denmark #denmarksliberation #denmarksliberationday #danmarksbefrielse75år #danmark🇩🇰 #danmarksbefrielsesdag #lysivinduet #hverforsigmensammen #befrielsen75år #befrielsesdag (her: Kolding, Denmark) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xuyhcFU17/?igshid=1vnppvw7y35vp

On this day, 74 years ago, Denmark was liberated from the German occupation. When the liberation was announced in the 8.30pm BBC broadcast on 4 May 1945, many Danes spontaneously placed lit candles in their windows. 🕯️🇩🇰 Danes still do it today exactly at 8.30pm! #befrielsen #denmark #danmark #danmarksbefrielse (at Copenhagen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFjdjslKwB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m7ym52mkzvh3

Min mors onkel Karl var betjent og modstandsmand i København under krigen. Han slap da politiet blev taget af tyskerne, kun fordi han havde været på "togt" for modstandsbevægelsen om natten og derfor ikke mødte op på arbejde den dag... Det betød så, at han måtte gå under jorden indtil 4. Maj 1945. Jeg tænder lys for bl.a. at mindes ham og det han gjorde for Danmark under besættelsen... #4maj #tradition #hererlondon #danmarksbefrielse #70år #frihed
