    they just lay down there weapons, and they where forced to walk home to the border. That is why we in Denmark have a joke about why the German turists always have bikes strapped to the back of there autocampers ! They dont want to walk home again :-D

    My wife and I were married in Denmark and have always been treated magnificently. When my brothers wife wanted to speak german to a waiter - she was told politely but firmly 'You will get much further in Denmark if you speak English'

     

     

    So true David, so true.

     

    The Danes have never forgotten the fact that the germans occupied us, and also never fogotten that the English liberated us.

     

    We try too be nice the the germans, and they in turn, normaly try to be as nice as possible. But the day monty liberated us will never be forgotten.

     

    I know the by heart, the words of the BBC radio broadcast, that told the danes that they where free again. And i was born 27 years after :-)

     

    "Her er London. I dette øjeblik meddeles det, at Montgomery har oplyst, at de tyske tropper i Holland, Nordvesttyskland og i Danmark har overgivet sig. Her er London. Vi gentager: Montgomery har i dette øjeblik meddelt, at de tyske tropper i Holland, Nordvesttyskland og Danmark har overgivet sig."

     

    Landsmænd, Danmark er atter frit.

     

    "This is London. A short while ago, A report from Montgomery reads That : The germans in Holland, Northwest germany and Denmark, have Surrendered. We Repeat : This is London. The germans in Holland, Northwest germany and Denmark, have Surrendered.

     

    Countrymen, Danmark is once again free.

    A bit off vehicle type but.....when I was a 2LT in a mech infantry unit (1/18 INF) we used to heat up our MRE's (meals ready to eat) by taking them out of the box, rolling up the foil packet and feeding up to six of them down the exhaust pipe of a M35 Duce. This was of course just running at idle, in about five minutes we would hit the throttle and blow all the MRE packs out (it really launches them!)....only problem was soot would cover the packs so you could not read the contents, so the Joe's would cut them open and the "you got mine, here's yours" would begin.

     

     

    That must have been a site for sore eyes :schocked: We used to sleep on the engine grid of our Leopard 1 MBT to keep warm during the winter, as it was warm for many hours after beeing shut of.

     

    Nothing to do with ferrets ! sorry.
