Summary

[edit]
Description
Dansk: Våben, uniformer og militært udstyr fra Nazityskland og den tyske besættelsen af Danmark under Anden Verdenskrig 1940–1945 udstillet i glasmontrer på Krigsmuseet i København:
BESÆTTELSESSAMLINGEN
Værnemagt og modstand
Tøjhusmuseet har en meget omfangsrig samling af genstande fra den tyske besættelse 1940-1945. Især den tyske del af samlingen er stor. I 1942 begyndte tyskerne at bygge den såkaldte Atlantvold, da de frygtede en allieret invasion langs de vestvendte kyster i Vesteuropa. Flere af genstandene her i udstillingen kan man med sikkerhed relatere direkte til Atlantvolden. Et par eksempler er den skræmmende flammekastermine og betonstokminerne fra Skallingen.
En anden del af samlingen stammer fra kampen imod den tyske besættelsesmagt. Det drejer sig primært om våben, der har været benyttet af den danske mod- standsbevægelse. De allierede kastede store mængder våben og udstyr ned til brug for forskellige operationer. Andre våben er produceret illegalt i Danmark, fx den hjemmelavede stengun og "baby-gun". Mange af disse våben beholdt modstandsfolkene efter krigen, og de har ligget gemt i årevis. Flere af museets våben fra modstandskampen er tilvejebragt i forbindelse med politiets frit-lejde aktioner, hvor befolkningen har kunnet aflevere diverse våben anonymt. På samme måde har efterkommere af tidligere modstandsfolk indleveret fundne genstande direkte til museet.
Den tredje gruppe af samlingens genstande stammer fra luftkrigen over Danmark. Nogle er fra allierede fly, der blev skudt ned over Danmark. Andre vidner om de allieredes bombetogter imod tyske installationer i Danmark. Det engelske Browning flymaskingevær er et af de våben, der på en meget nærværende måde fortæller om krigens gru og rædsler.
Besættelsen af Danmark under 2. verdenskrig indledtes, da Nazi-Tyskland med Operation Weserübung-Süd den 9. april 1940 besatte et neutralt Danmark, der efter en kortvarig konflikt overgav sig til den tyske besættelsesmagt. Den 8. maj 1945 er den officielle sejrsdato for de allierede over Nazi-Tyskland.

THE WORLD WAR II COLLECTION (Danish: Besættelsessamlingen)
Reich and Resistance (Danish: Værnemagt og motstand)
The Royal Danish Arsenal Museum has an extensive collection of objects from the German occupation of Denmark 1940-1945. The German part of the collection in particular is vast. In 1942 the Germans began to build what is known as the Atlantic Wall, as they feared an Allied invasion along the coast of Western Europe. Several of the objects in the exhibition can be directly linked to the Atlantic Wall. Some examples are the frightening flamethrower mine and stock mines from Skallingen.
Another part of the collection originates from the struggle against the German occupiers. It primarily contains weapons used by the Danish resistance movement. The Allies dropped large quantities of weapons and equipment for different operations. Other weapons were produced illegally in Denmark, such as the homemade Sten gun and 'baby-gun'. Resistance fighters kept many of these weapons after the war, and they were hidden for years. Several of the museum's weapons from the resistance came into the museum's possession in connection with the safe-conduct operations implemented by the police, where people were able to hand in weapons anonymously. Similarly, descendants of former resistance fighters have handed in finds directly to the museum.
The third group of objects in the collection originates from the air battle over Denmark. Some are from the Allied planes that were shot down over Denmark. Others are relics from Allied bombing raids against German installations in Denmark. The English Browning aircraft machine gun is one of those weapons that speaks volumes about the dread and horror of the war.
