Apart from the members of the Hvidsten Group sentenced to death, six others received prison sentences. They were all arrested in March 1944 and taken into custody in Aarhus.

The men were transferred to the Horserød camp on 30 March 1944. They were all reunited in late May in Vestre Fængsel prison in Copenhagen to face a military tribunal. After sentencing, they were transferred to Germany to serve their sentences.

Born on 23 August 1918 in Hvidsten, died on 28 August 1983. Originally sentenced to death, sentence commuted to life. When arrested, she had to leave her daughter Gudrun with her own mother at the inn.

Kirstine, known as Tulle, was the oldest daughter of Marius and Gudrun Fiil. She married Peter Bergenhammer Sørensen in April 1939, one of the members of the Hvidsten Group who was executed. Their daughter was Gudrun, known as Gulle. Tulle took part in the planning for receiving drops, and was courier for the group.

She was pardoned on 10 April 1945 and brought back to Denmark by the White Buses. She married Olaf Møller, a former concentration camp inmate, in 1946. They had a daughter who died only nine months old. After moving around for several years, they returned to Hvidsten, where Tulle lived until her death in 1983.

 

Tulle refused compensation from the state after the war. She believed that she and her family had taken part in the resistance as a matter of duty, voluntarily and fully aware of the risk. Despite her indomitable strength and optimism, the psychological after-effects of the war and captivity affected her for the rest of her life.

Jens was a farmer in Hvidsten and took part in the group's activities right from the start. His older brother Andreas was also a member of the group.

 

Jens was collected from prison on 14 April 1945 in Germany by the White Buses to complete his sentence in a Scandinavian prison camp. After a stay in hospital in Sweden, Jens arrived in Randers on 19 May 1945. After the war, he joined the customs service in Copenhagen.

Barner was an assistant at Hvidsten Mill and quickly became involved in the Hvidsten Group's activities receiving parachutists, weapons and explosives along with his brother Henning, the miller.

 

Barner was collected from prison on 14 April 1945 in Germany by the White Buses to complete his sentence in a Scandinavian prison camp. After the war, he worked for some years as a bus driver in Randers.

 

Born on 3 October 1894 in Hvornum, died on 4 March 1976. Sentenced to four years in prison.

 

Anders lived with his family in the old midwife's building south of Råsted. They also farmed. Anders also worked as a haulier. He was inducted into the activities of the Hvidsten Group early on, driving materiel from the drop site out to the various dumps in the area. He also often transported people fleeing to safety in Sweden wanted by the Germans. He had a permit to drive midwives in the district, which provided the perfect cover for his activities.

 

Anders was collected from prison on 14 April 1945 in Germany by the White Buses to complete his sentence in a Scandinavian prison camp before being reunited with his family in Råsted on 11 May 1945. After the war, he continued to run his haulage firm in Råsted.

Knud sold tiled ovens from Vejle Støbegods at Store Voldgade 6 in Randers. His job was to collect and store materiel dropped. Weapons and explosives were stored in his property. They were distributed from there to sabotage groups throughout Jutland.

 

Along with the other Scandinavian prisoners of war, Knud was collected from prison in German by the White Buses and taken to Sweden via Denmark, to a camp in Marnarp near Höganäs. He was liberated in Sweden and reunited with his family on 11 May 1945 in Randers.

 

After the war, Knud continued running his business. He was appointed Kongelig Vejer og Måler in Randers (royal weights and measures inspector). He declined compensation from the state. He had his business, and regarded his involvement in the resistance movement as a duty and rebellion against the Germans. He never talked about his experiences in German captivity, but the mental and physical after-effects of the war affected him for the rest of his life.

 

Born on 30 January 1927 in Hvidsten, died on 26 June 1994. Sentenced to two years youth prison.

 

Gerda Fiil was just 17 when she was arrested. She attended Gassum School and helped out at the inn. She took part in receiving some of the drops, keeping lookout to warn of any German patrols.

 

Gudrun Fiil wrote innumerable appeals for the pardoning of her daughters from the inn, and on 2 August 1944 Gerda was returned to Vestre Fængsel prison, from where she was released. She returned home to Hvidsten, where she helped her mother at the inn.

After the war, Gerda married architect Svend Jessen on 18 August 1951. They had two children. They moved to the west coast, where Svend Jensen had taken a job. They later took over management of restaurant Marie Grubbe in Tjele. In their final years, they moved back to Hvidsten and lived in the "yellow palace", an impressive building close to the inn.
