    I thought that a good deal of you would find this interesting - I made a translation into English from Danish of the letters dropped all over Denmark in the morning of April 9th, 1940, the darkest day in our history.

    Imagine waking up to this?

    Thank you for the translation work, it must have taken you a couple of hours to say the least.

    For this reason, powerful German military forces have this morning taken the most important objectives in Denmark and Norway under occupation. We will ensure that the the royals, military, and your freedom will continue unhindered.

    You are most welcome - but it only took me about 10 or 15 minutes. Being Danish and having a degree in English helped out with that. :)
