Denmark - Ryvangen Memorial Grove - 1 |
|
The Ryvangen Memorial Grove is the largest Memorial park in
Denmark that commemorates the Danish Resistance Fighter that were
killed
during World War II. Some of these Fighters were killed in action,
others were executed by the Germans and others again died in German
concentration camps. The park is located at an old military barracks.
During World War II the Germans used the shooting ranges of these
barracks
as their main execution site in Denmark.
