Additional Comments |

Shortly after the liberation of Denmark, on May 5,
1945, he was fired from his job after a solid pressure from
his colleagues.
He was accused of having shown too much sympathy
to the Nazi way of thinking, and having too many relations to Germans and
Danish Nazi's during the 2nd World War |
