"Turn on the radio, peace has been declared. We'll be over with champagne in 5 minutes." It was the neighbor Henrichsen who had called Eva Blomsterberg to share the good news – Denmark was free. And her husband, municipal secretary Victor Blomsterberg, finally came home.
In April 1945, resistance fighter Victor Blomsterberg was arrested by the Gestapo at the municipal office because he had issued false identification cards to several police officers. When the liberation occurred, Mrs. Eva Blomsterberg could pick up her husband at Græsted Station, where he arrived by train at 4 PM on May 5th. Many people had gathered. The entire town had been involved in getting him home again and out of the Germans' grasp.
Two of the town's citizens carried Victor Blomsterberg in a golden chair part of the way home. Everyone gathered in the parish council hall, where coffee and apple slices were ready.
