Hedda Lundh

Based at the time in Aarhus, she is remembered as a railway saboteur, explosives expert and courier in the resistance movement.

[1][2] Born on 29 September 1921 in Korsør, Hedda Lundh was the daughter of the newspaper editor Theodor Lundh-Jensen (1884–1952) and Alpha Tusnelda Emilie Winckler (1887–1973).

The youngest of three sisters, she was brought up in a middle-class home where her father called her his "boy" as she climbed trees, joined the scouts and cut her hair short.

Lundh also acted as a telephone contact, forming part of a network of resistance workers whose addresses were kept secret from each other.

From 1949 to 1960, based mainly in Paris, she covered cultural events for Social-Demokraten, worked for the press service at the Danish embassy, and taught in French high schools.
