The
Hvidsten Kro (Inn) and it inhabitants played a very
important role in the Danish World War II history. The landlord -
Marius Fiil - from this inn, some of his children and some of his
friends jointed the Danish Resistance movement in 1943 - and were
later known as the Hvidsten Group. They received weapons and agents
that were airlifted into Denmark. In 1944 the group got caught and 8
of them were execute by the Germans, which caused a general strike
in Denmark. The inn is still active - but it is left more or less as
in 1944 as a memorial for the Hvidsten Group.
The "Mustard Point" is the location outside Hvidsten,
where the Hvidsten Group received the weapons
and agents that were flown in from the UK.
