To illustrate the theme, several OMSD members presented artifacts - medals, award documents, photos and more - from their collections and told the story behind them.
We heard the touching story of a Frenchman, who spent five years in German captivity in Königsberg.
Another story was about a Soviet fighter pilot, who had shot down more than 200 German airplanes.
Natacha Boeg, Russian-born and married to a Dane, was in the Danish resistance movement.
The decorations of vice admiral H. A. Nyholm were also on display. He worked covertly in support of the Allies during the war.
As always, a both entertaining and educational evening.
