Description
Some 800 Danish sailors took part in the D-Day landings on June 6, 1994 -- an effort that was finally recognised in 2014, when Denmark joined the "family of true Allies", allowing the seven survivors to join this year's 80th anniversary commemorations. After their homeland came under Nazi occupation in April 1940, some 6,000 Danish merchant navy seamen sailed in service of the Allies during the Second World War. A thousand of them perished at sea.
