I watched a Danish Film on Prime yesterday called April 9th....it was about the German invasion.
It did bring out how locals who lived in border areas were affected.....in fact they had been part of Germany until 1920 and there was a minority who saw themselves as German and I suspect some who were torn between Germany and Denmark

I use internet radio, brilliant if you want a particular genre of station. there's tens of thousands out there, also I use vintage radio show websites, theres some brilliant stuff to listen too. You tube has so much from music of all types tv comedy, drama, tutorials, sports. also theres some great free apps, pluto tv has a lot of channels all free some awful but one or two good ones ,Laurel and Hardy are on an awful lot.
The old movies app is great too, from silent movies through to the 1970s there is a pretty good selection to pick from.

I followed it up today on Prime with The Kings's Choice about the invasion of Norway on the same day.
Just another brave, small country crushed by the jackboot!!
Fascinating stuff.

John, You're welcome although I can't claim credit for finding it. It came from my sister-in-law.

The old movies app is great they add movies every week so it's worth using, I used it a lot when I was in hospital.
