So it is with a lovely May tradition in Denmark
setting a candle in the window on the night of May
4th.
This is to commemorate the surrender of the Germans
and the end of the N*** occupation.
In 1945, the Nazis imposed a blackout on Denmark to
confuse the Allied air forces.
So now that they were defeated, a candle in a
window became a small symbol of rebellious light.
I intend to participate every year on May 4, but I
often forget and to be honest, I see very few
candles in windows these days.
It'd have to be aged 85 or older now to remember the
war, and Germany is one of Denmark's greatest friends
and all.
