Abstract

Those Gentle Danes
Leistikow, Gunnar | July 15, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the political war in the United States. If there is any truth in reports from Stockholm, the Danes have won a major political and moral victory. The Germans must have suffered a tremendous loss of face in all occupied countries, for they acceded to Danish demands only after their threats to starve and bomb Copenhagen had failed completely to impress the strikers. After August 29, 1943, the Danes interpreted the Germans' vacillation as a sign if weakness--which it probably was--and acted accordingly. They will hardly interpret German hesitancy differently this time.
