Dansk Familie Blad (Danish Family Magazine) - NR 22, 1. JUNI 1945-35. AARG. (Nazis, Danish Liberation)

Copenhagen, Denmark: 1945. Max Weihrauch. Newspaper. Newspaper, 4to (14-3/4 inches tall), pp. 1-6, (lacking 7-23) 19-24 illustrated with ads, comics, drawings and photos which include the liberating British Army marching through the streets. Front page with caption title "Mother Denmark Sweeps Out". Paper with some toning, creases, a few tiny punctures and short closed tears, images still bright and colorful. Good. Item #1862

Published shortly after V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day), this newspaper proves the Danes wasted no time in clearing out the unwanted "Nazi animals" so clearly depicted here with a Danish beauty (Mother Denmark) happily working her broom. In the background is a map of Denmark showing the date "5' MAJ" representing the day of Denmark's liberation from Nazi occupation by the British Army - a holiday still celebrated today as "Befrielsen" (The Liberation). A remarkable survivor considering the postwar shortages that followed.
