During our trip to Copenhagen,we went to the Danish Resisistance Museum. Most of it was pastry samples, diet tips and before and after signs. :) The rest of it was nazi flags and big guns. The Danish resistance was not actually much because the Germans, in WWII, felt the Danes were a pure country and didn't bother them much. But they did resist the Nazis and so anyone who resisted the Nazis deserves a memorial or two. Especially the fact that mostly young people resisted. One of the guns was a large anti-tank battery. As you can see from the photo this gun is equipped with a bullet proof sheild to protect the gunner. It used explosive shells. Next is a Mocoson 1847 turret machine gun. It was designed for, of course, turrets. These particular model used 13 caliber bullets , the museum also owned an anti-aircraft gun this weapon also used explosive shells.
In conclusion, I learned lots about the Danish Resistance (and pastries!).
