Let's talk about the Dannevirke myth or the real Dannevirke? 279 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,159 Dannevirke is in principle impregnable. 280 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,672 Yes, because if I were the enemy, I would I simply bypass the position. 281 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,758 Dannevirke is secured on the flanks with water. 282 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,879 Colonel Moller, how long have we had freezing temperatures? 283 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,674 A month and a half. 284 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:09,795 Prepare a withdrawal plan for an escape from Dannevirke. 285 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:16,678 Dannevirke is the symbol of Denmark sovereignty and will to defend. 286 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,713 It will be experienced as a moral catastrophe. 287 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:26,439 We're not going to put on a show, that can win the audience's applause. 288 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,918 To the south stands the enemy, there are approximately 60,000 people. 289 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,476 The Danish Army numbering approximately 30,000 men. 290 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,480 It is frozen to the east. The same thing applies to the wetlands to the west. 291 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,037 The flanks there are too vulnerable. The enemy can surround the position - 292 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,073 - and Dannevirke is no longer a fortress. 293 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,989 - But we fight then. - What have you? 294 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,398 Yes.
