Esbjerg under German Occupation: A Guided Walking Tour
Esbjerg under German Occupation: A Guided Walking Tour
Join a guided walk through Esbjerg during the German occupation. We visit sites where the Danish resistance carried out sabotage, where shootings took place, and where Nazi terror struck the town and its residents.
Along the way, you will hear about the events and the people involved. We explore resistance operations and the dangers of underground activity, as well as the fear and violence that marked the final years of the occupation.
These local stories are placed in a wider context, giving you a broad understanding of the occupation of Denmark and Esbjerg. We look at everyday life under German rule, the development of the resistance movement, and relations between the population and the occupying forces.
The tour offers a new perspective on the town’s familiar streets and buildings and the dramatic events that unfolded here between 1940 and 1945. There is time for questions and conversation along the way.
