I went up to the local cemetery to see if there was a World War II memorial, but if there was I couldn't find it. So here's a Western view of the church instead.
I wanted a memorial because 68 years ago today - April 9th, 1940 - the people of Denmark and Norway woke up to find themselves occupied by German troops. Until then we hadn't been involved in the war at all. Sweden escaped occupation due to its officially neutral (and unofficially collaborative) position relative to Germany.

Thank you for commemorating this tragic and important time in history. "Never forget!"
