DANISH PATRIOT
MURDERED BY TRAITORS. BRAVE PASTOR AND GREAT DRAMATIST. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, January 6. The whole of Denmark has been angered by news of the murder of Pastor Kaj Munk, one of the greatest Scandinavian dramatists and regarded as the successor to Ibsen, whose body was found riddled with revolver bullets in a wood near Silkeborg, Jutland, says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Stockholm correspondent. The assassins are known to be four Danish Nazis. Pastor Munk, who was aged 46, never ceased to write and preach against the Nazis and proclaim the cause of freedom. According to the Stockholm
correspondent of the Associated Press of America, a traveller stated that the Germans prohibited him from preachir|- in 1942, and removed the ban last November. Pastor Munk at Christmas said that the British and Americans were comin’g to help the Danes to get rid of the Germans. The traveller added that the German soldiers in Jutland are in a state of alarm. The Danes generally are awaiting the invasion.
