The Free Danes (Danish: De frie Danske) was a Danish resistance newspaper published in Copenhagen about monthly from December 1941 to 24 May 1945.[1] It was the first Danish non-communist resistance newspaper and the first to bring photographs and also one of the largest with final issues reaching a circulation of 20,000.[2] Especially notable was the June 1944 Invasion Issue titled 'The Free Danes Welcome our Allied Friends' with a four colored front page photo of one US and one British rifleman each in front of their national flags.[3][4]

In Popular Culture

The newspaper appears in Lois Lowry's historical novel Number the Stars.[5][6]
