70 år sedan

Today 15th of October exact 70 years ago 1943 I left Denmark in a very small fishing boat for Sweden. My family has to escape from Denmark to Sweden. Some in my family was involved I the Resistance Army and an Aunt, my father’s sister was married to a Jewish man and all of us in my family was at risk to be taken to Germany and concentration camp, so my parents left Denmark with me. We came to Barsebäck late evening Friday 15th of October at 2300 o´clock and was transported to Kävlinge in the night by local Red Cross and local Home Guard. I was eleven years old but I can remember everything as it was to day. Started going in school in Falköping until the month of May 1945 when I returned to Denmark for a few years. Back 1947 in Sweden and Skövde and join the Swedish Army 1950 as voluntary soldier and that ended 1955 when I became Officer and left the Army. After that full time with outdoor life, canoeing, mountain guide, ski instructor and a lot of different activities in the outdoor business. Started with my wife The Nordmarken Canoe Center 1956 and we are still in business, but the extreme adventures are not so often anymore. I will say thank you to Sweden for taking care of me the last 70 years as a citizens and I hope that I have paid back all what I got in friendship and understanding from the Swedish people. Today I also have number 900 on my blogg since start
