Hitler's Canary

Look inside

April, 1940. Nazi troops are flooding into Denmark. With soldiers on the doorstep, 12-year-old Bamse is ordered by his father to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. All the same, Bamse and his daring friend Anton can’t resist playing the odd joke on the invading soldiers! But then Bamse realises that Anton is in terrible danger. Before long, Bamse is taking part in one of history’s most dramatic rescues – smuggling Denmark’s Jews across the water to safety in Sweden. A vivid story of war and courage, and friendship against the odds.
