Samsing Group

The Samsing Group (Danish: Samsing-gruppen) was a Danish resistance group in Aarhus, Denmark active from June 1943 until 6 June 1944. The group consisted of Willy Samsing, his three brothers and 10-12 other men. The group conducted some 60 large and small sabotage actions in and around Aarhus and were the driving force behind resistance operations in the city in the early years. In addition to sabotage the group collected weapons and supplies airdropped by the allies and supplied them to other groups in Jutland. In 1944 the group was dismantled by the German authorities and its members arrested. The group worked with a loosely based group of university students that had been active since 1942.
