"Thousands of Danish paper from the war stolen"

"Thousands of documents from or about the German occupation of Denmark during the second world war has been stolen from the Danish national Archives."

"After a review of more than three million acts discovered the archive to close to five per cent of all the paper that should be there was gone, and assumed to be in the hands of collectors. It is the largest theft of the documents if the time of occupation so far."

"”With great probability are thousands of documents stolen from collectors on the black market or, at the very worst, are destroyed or lost,” writes the national Archives in a report Weekendavisen has taken part of."

"”This is particularly serious for a national kulturarvsinstitution,” write on."

"It applies to a large part of documents from the trials where the nazis and the danes, who in different ways collaborated with the occupying power were held accountable for their actions during the war, the documents which have great value to collectors on the black market."

"The first theft was discovered in 2012 and the following year sentenced two men to prison for the thefts. The judgment led to the ministry of culture ordered a review of the most vulnerable the archives to see how extensive the thefts been."
