CURFEWS AND TERROR

After the policy of collaboration broke down, arrests and terror became a part of everyday life. To maintain law and order, the Germans introduced a curfew on 25 June 1944, making it illegal to be outdoors after 8 pm.

They also began executions of resistance fighters and a series of revenge actions against popular places such as the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Such measures only served to provoke the population, and rebellion simmered just under the surface.
