The series premiered in 1990. Stopped in
1994.
The title Danmark Besat (Denmark Occupied in
English) refers to Denmark's position and resistance against the
German occupants during World War 2. We follow a string of
ordinary people with different backgrounds, and their increasing
will to resist the oppressors.
The series is historically correct in all the main aspects and
it gives a daunting and realistic glimpse of life in those
troubled days. The creators continued the overall political
theme by publishing new series on the post war years.
