Poul Andersen (resistance member)

Poul Dalby Andersen (April 19, 1922 – May 29, 2006) was a printer who served in the Danish resistance movement during World War II and later published one of the remaining two Danish-language newspapers in the United States.

[1][2] Andersen was born in Ringkøbing, a small town in Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality on the west coast of Denmark.

Andersen moved the newspaper to Burbank, California, to allow him to work on the paper after completing his shift at the Times.

Andersen continued to use a Linotype machine to set the type for each edition of Bien long after other newspapers had switched to computerized typesetting.

Andersen was knighted in 1982 by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark for his efforts in uniting the Danish American community.
