Denmark
A number of Danes took part in the Normandy landings, mainly on merchant ships.
There are good chances of finding information about Danish ancestors in Arkivalieronline, the website of the Danish National Archives.
We do hold some material in our archives that may be useful. For example, we may have a published or unpublished history of a unit, the memoirs of another veteran who served in the same unit, or photographs of a relevant unit or place.
We also hold material such as maps that may be useful in understanding a soldier’s service in Normandy, for example.
We also have a large library of books relating to D-Day. This material can be consulted by the public, by prior appointment.
