In regard to the story about tri-color knit caps worn in Denmark during
the occupation, I received the following information from Henrik
Lundbak of the Museum of Danish Resistance:

> The RAF-caps in Denmark became popular in Denmark during 1943 - not
> from the start of the occupation, and they were worn mainly by young
> people as a provokation, not by the population in general as a sign of
> general defiance. It was illegal to display allied colours, so the
> Danish police would intervene and confiscate the cap, if they saw one.
> The story as it is being told below is clearly larger than life.
>
> I might add that this sort of open provokation would only suit a
> country, where the risks were limited. I cannot imagine for instance
> Poles provoking the Germans in this way.
