Along with his wife Gerda, Aage Bertelsen (1901-80) was one of the prime movers behind the Lyngby Group, which organized the escape of Denmark’s Jews to safety in neutral Sweden in October 1943 during the German occupation. The present volume is Bertelsen’s vivid account of the heroic rescue mission across the Danish Sound.
