Scuttling the Navy August 29, 1943:

Naval Aviators

By Søren Nørby, arts student

On November 22, 1943, one of the Naval Dock Yard's young mechanic apprentices sabotages the navy's sea planes, which all since April 13, 1940 had been stored away on Holmen.

The aircrafts had all been dismantled to make room for them all in the Naval Dock Yard's hangar in Copenhagen.
