Grethe Bartram was born on 23 February 1924 in Aarhus, Denmark, as the second of eight children. Her father, Niels Peter Christopher Bartram was from southern Jutland and since it was part of the German Empire from 1864 to 1920, he had therefore participated in World War I on the German side. Throughout the war which began on the 28th of July 1914 and ended on the 11th of November 1918, Denmark was neutral. Though Grethe’s father Niels Bartram suffered from shellshock from the war and found it difficult to work, he managed to operate a small bicycle repair shop in Aarhus. Both Niels and his wife were members of the Communist Party of Denmark as were the social circles of the family.
In 1937, at the age of 13, Grethe Bartram left school and worked for a couple of years at institution for mentally disabled people in Brejning, before finding work in Aarhus.
When the Second World War began on the 1st of September 1939, Grethe was 15 years old.

No, no tears shed for Grethe. Turning family members in to the Germans tells us of her poor character and lack of compassion. Her son wasn’t even raised by her; perhaps he shed tears for his absent mother. Thank you World History, your narrator is amazing.

This was an all too common story in Norway. My father escaped to England to join the RAF but his father, my grandfather, joined the Nasjonal Samling, which was Quislings Nazi Party. My fathers childhood friend died on the Russian front fighting for the Waffen SS. The war drove a knife into many families in Norway. Splits that took 2 generations to even begin to heal.

Many in my family in Denmark took part in the resistance movement. Notably, my dad and his brother then worked with the movement to create the Home Guard clubs (Foreninger) that transformed into a national Home Guard in 1949. But some of their cousins, both male and female, worked with the Germans and of these at least 4 actually joined the prison guard comunity and the Hipo's. They never took actual part in fighting Danes as such, but there can be little doubt that they helped in giving prisoners a very hard time in captivity. From my father, I know that most of them (not only the 4 in direct German service) were arrested after the war and put on trial for treason and collaboration charges and were convicted accordingly. What happened to them after release from prison is anybody's guess as none of us ever heard from or of them again. So, it was not only in Norway that divided families on either side of the nazi fence existed. It was the same in Denmark. And from what I have heard through the years when reading about other occupied countries, the story is the same in all of them. I have little doubt that many did it because Europe was being overrun so "easily" and wanted to make sure that they could keep their good lives without the risk of loosing it by being deemed politisch unzuverlässig by the Germans once the war was over. A war they were convinced at the time that Germany would win. There can also be little doubt that some did it because they believed in what Hitler was doing and from their political views. But all of them found themselves in way too deep when it became apparent that Germany could never hope to win or just keep what they had already taken, so they kept on with their collaboration/service, hoping for a miracle, or that they could somehow become Germans in Germany and avoid the worst consequences of their choices, which did of course not happen.

How can anyone be so vile? The Danish resistance were heroes during WWII for ferrying almost the entire population of 7,000 Jews out of the country before a planned roundup. This woman is a blight on Denmark.

Correction: They ferried Denmark's 7000 Jews out of the country before they were to be rounded up and deported to Germany--and then sent to extermination camps in German-occupied Poland, i.e., Auschwitz--not the entire population of Denmark.

I'd respectfully disagree. Grethe Bartram was never tortured and her family was not murdered in a concentration camp. Her motivation for informing was purely financial. Stella Goldschlag's motivation for informing was survival and the protection of her family--whom the Nazis murdered anyway.

Hej!! Greetings from Aarhus, Denmark!! Great video and congratulations on your Danish pronunciation....except for the word 'Aarhus'...sometimes written as Århus. But don't worry...Danish pronunciation is notoriously tricky!! You pronounced it 'Ar-hoos', which isn't quite correct. The double Aa (Å) is pronounced 'awe', as in 'shock and awe'....or 'or'!! So Aarhus is pronounced 'Awe-hoos'. (Or-hoos) And Aalborg is pronounced 'Awl-bore'..the 'g' is silent. And Danish 'r', as in the name 'Grethe' is not rolled, but made in the mouth at the back of the tongue....a tough one one for non-Danes!!

@@peterkin1010 Yes perhaps from your point of view Neo Nazi. British SOE executed collaborators and other top Nazis for the purposes of bringing the war to a close. Whatever your misguided opinion is on this saboteurs and partisans disrupted the Nazi efforts. They fought against great odds and were rightly decorated for their bravery even though they had abide to the strict Official Secrets Act. No right minded person murders another unless for the purposes of battle where one must kill or be killed. The British and the Allies faced a ruthless enemy that indiscriminately murdered millions based on eugenics. This eradication was nothing more than genocide. Don’t excuse what the Nazis did by pointing fingers at brave Allied combatants and calling them war criminals.

Hmm.... thank You for an informative video. It explains a lot to me personally. I never really thought about it, but it was strange that my aunt moved to Esbjerg as a divorce lawyer and her husband - a known liquidator of the resistence got a commision as an officer at the artillery regiment in Varde. They were personal freinds with the chief of police. Now Grethe Bartram was a communist,, and there was a deep devide between the communists and the other parts of the resistance movement. But this another piece of the puzzle. It should be added, that my aunt was very well informed - and kept her trap shut - about the RAF attack on the Shell House. One of the bombing raids the RAF remains very proud of. The political prisoner on the top floor had a high escape rate, but the captive Danish general and his staff got killed - due to the time of day the raid was performed.
