Land of Mine
In the days after Germany gave up in May 1945, a group of young German prisoners of war were turned over to the Danish government. They were then sent to the West Coast and told to remove the more than 2 million mines that the Germans had put in the sand along the coast. Under the direction of Carl Leopold Rasmussen, a Danish sergeant, the boys were forced to do dangerous work with their bare hands while crawling around in the sand.
