After the Nazis invaded Denmark in only four hours, WInston Churchill remarked that the country was 'Hitlers tame Canary'. A group of schoolboys from Jutland took this as a challenge, and formed The Churchill Club - a resistance unit to fight the Nazi occupation.

Their early attacks took place on bicycle- with breathtaking bravery, they would cycle to the homes and offices of Nazi soldiers and spray paint their logo on the occupiers walls. The reason they did this during the day? They didn't want to get in trouble with their parents for being home late.

Eventually the boys graduated from graffiti to more serious resistance. They stole weapons from the Nazis, and learnt how to make bombs. They struck the Nazis with brutal and callous efficiency.

In May 1942 they were caught and imprisoned, and were even threatened with going to Auschwitz. In October 1942 they escaped, and carried out 19 nights of sabotage before they were recaptured.

By then, like something out of a novel, they were national heroes of the Danish resistance which they helped build and inspire. The boys survived the war, and in 1952 were invited to meet their namesake, Winston Churchill.

This is one of many stories that are featured in our new publication, Heroes of the Resistance.

It tells the stories of people who made the brave decision to stand up to the Nazis during WWII - from the armed resistance of the French Revolution, to the non-violent actions of the Underground Press.
