Ole Aksel Nielsen

  General Notes:

Ole was actively involved with the resistance movement in Denmark during WWII. He was quite young and living at home with his mother at the time - his father had passed away when he was 8 years old. They had a rented piano that he was quite good at playing so every time he left the house to join the other resistance members, he told his mother he was taking extra piano lessons.
Ole had his resistance armband and helmet in his bedroom, as well as his revolver that was hidden in a secret space on top of his closet.
During a family birthday party, when everyone was gathered in the living room, his young nephews, Jørgen and Peter, were snooping around in Ole's room. They were only 4-6 years old. They found the revolver and decided to play "cops and robbers" - Jørgen being the cop and Peter being the robber. And then the chase was on. Jørgen, revolver in hand, chased Peter through the apartment into the living room surprising the whole family. Everyone was horrified and although the revolver wasn't loaded, there were definitely consequenses for the two little boys.
