Description

At the morning of April 9, 1940, Peter Tveskov aroused from sleep to the roar of airplanes flying low overhead—more airplanes than he’d ever heard or seen before. The invasion resulting in the five-year German occupation of Denmark had begun. The Occupation was once a dark and difficult time for the Danish people, but for five-year-old Peter, it was once an exciting adventure that might in many ways shape both his future and that of his beloved country.

In Conquered, Not Defeated, Peter Tveskov blends vivid childhood memories with historical fact to inform the tale of how the occupying army of the Third Reich tried—and in the end failed—to crush the customs, will, and spirit of the Danish people. This is a story not regularly told nor easily forgotten. Includes 12 pages of rare photographs.
