The resistance movement had weapons dropped from British planes on Gyldenløveshøj during World War II – it happened at night and it was dramatic and dangerous.
Now you can take part in a reconstruction of a weapons drop under cover of darkness.
It was important not to be discovered by the Germans when the British planes delivered their cargo.
That's why the group made a light chain as a signal for the pilots, and we're going to try that too.
There was a lot of preparatory work behind the dropping of English weapons in the central Zealand countryside.
It was dangerous and risky. In the reconstruction we hear about the organization of the dangerous deliveries and how it happened – and we meet at one of the places, Gyldenløveshøj, where the receptions actually took place.
The Borup group experienced heroic and terrifying episodes both before, during and after the receptions. We will hear much more about this on site.
Please bring your own flashlight.
It is necessary to buy a ticket in advance.
Meeting point:
The parking lot at Gyldenløveshøj, Skjoldenæsvej, 4330 Hvalsø.
