Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Wire photo verso, International News, of “King Christian of Denmark...arrested and interned in his own castle...This followed a wave of strikes and general sabotage throughout the country. Reports also stated that a part of the Danish Navy had been scuttled...other Danish warships escaped...by fleeing to…Sweden." In just one month from this date, the Danish people would work to move its Jewish citizens out of the country to Sweden, and away from the inevitable deportations to German death camps.
