- Grethe Bartram was born on 23 February 1924 in Aarhus, Denmark, as the second of eight children. Her father, Niels Peter Christopher Bartram was from southern Jutland and since it was part of the German Empire from 1864 to 1920, he had therefore participated in World War I on the German side. Throughout the war which began on the 28th of July 1914 and ended on the 11th of November 1918, Denmark was neutral. Though Grethe’s father Niels Bartram suffered from shellshock from the war and found it difficult to work, he managed to operate a small bicycle repair shop in Aarhus. Both Niels and his wife were members of the Communist Party of Denmark as were the social circles of the family.
In 1937, at the age of 13, Grethe Bartram left school and worked for a couple of years at institution for mentally disabled people in Brejning, before finding work in Aarhus.
When the Second World War began on the 1st of September 1939, Grethe was 15 years old.

No, no tears shed for Grethe. Turning family members in to the Germans tells us of her poor character and lack of compassion. Her son wasn’t even raised by her; perhaps he shed tears for his absent mother. Thank you World History, your narrator is amazing.
The worst part is she herself was a Jewish Woman.
She was 92 years old when she died. Let's not pretend that justice was served in her case. The fact is: she basically got away with it, and lived a long life.
She should have served the save fate as those that she betrayed!!!!
This was an all too common story in Norway. My father escaped to England to join the RAF but his father, my grandfather, joined the Nasjonal Samling, which was Quislings Nazi Party. My fathers childhood friend died on the Russian front fighting for the Waffen SS. The war drove a knife into many families in Norway. Splits that took 2 generations to even begin to heal.
Healing from such monstrosity is impossible. If my father were a nazi supporter, I could never speak to him. Ever.
Many in my family in Denmark took part in the resistance movement. Notably, my dad and his brother then worked with the movement to create the Home Guard clubs (Foreninger) that transformed into a national Home Guard in 1949. But some of their cousins, both male and female, worked with the Germans and of these at least 4 actually joined the prison guard comunity and the Hipo's. They never took actual part in fighting Danes as such, but there can be little doubt that they helped in giving prisoners a very hard time in captivity.
From my father, I know that most of them (not only the 4 in direct German service) were arrested after the war and put on trial for treason and collaboration charges and were convicted accordingly. What happened to them after release from prison is anybody's guess as none of us ever heard from or of them again.
So, it was not only in Norway that divided families on either side of the nazi fence existed. It was the same in Denmark. And from what I have heard through the years when reading about other occupied countries, the story is the same in all of them.
I have little doubt that many did it because Europe was being overrun so "easily" and wanted to make sure that they could keep their good lives without the risk of loosing it by being deemed politisch unzuverlässig by the Germans once the war was over. A war they were convinced at the time that Germany would win. There can also be little doubt that some did it because they believed in what Hitler was doing and from their political views. But all of them found themselves in way too deep when it became apparent that Germany could never hope to win or just keep what they had already taken, so they kept on with their collaboration/service, hoping for a miracle, or that they could somehow become Germans in Germany and avoid the worst consequences of their choices, which did of course not happen.
How can anyone be so vile? The Danish resistance were heroes during WWII for ferrying almost the entire population of 7,000 Jews out of the country before a planned roundup. This woman is a blight on Denmark.
Correction: They ferried Denmark's 7000 Jews out of the country before they were to be rounded up and deported to Germany--and then sent to extermination camps in German-occupied Poland, i.e., Auschwitz--not the entire population of Denmark.
The fact that Denmark managed to get nearly all of their Jews out of the country will always be an incredible feat of planning
@@insertnamehere5809Oops! I'll fix that right now, thanks for pointing it out.
@@BeeruzChryslerSo what is your point?
@@BeeruzChrysler Normally.
Ladies and gentlemen, she is the worst type of simp: The Sellout. Avoid these type of people ay all cost.
No tears shed for her
But i shed tears for the victims 😭😢
I like that you started mentioning these Nazi collaborators. Amazing video as always. This is the best history channel on CZcams. Keep up the great work 👍
Not the Dane we are most proud of.
Greetings from Denmark!
Absolutely no tears for Grethe. Turns in her own family. Absolutely horrible
Hideous. Inside, and outside.
She was a sell out. Period. Awful to turn on your own family members. Stella Goldslag of Berlin was far worst.
A real slag
I'd respectfully disagree. Grethe Bartram was never tortured and her family was not murdered in a concentration camp. Her motivation for informing was purely financial. Stella Goldschlag's motivation for informing was survival and the protection of her family--whom the Nazis murdered anyway.
Another Danish viewer here, good job. It's rare that what happened here are covered by people who aren't really associated to the country. Thank you for that. 👍
Thats because Denmark was even weaker than Netherlands.
@@johnm249
Not sure how the weakness at that time is related to what happened here being covered by others in present time, but okay.
I would love you to tell the story of Hans-Joachim Marseille, the Luftwaffe pilot and flying ace who was openly anti nazi and saved the lives of black South African soldiers in North Africa from Einsatzgruppen Egypt during the North African Campaign.
I would love to hear it...
Your evidence ?
Would love to hear about him!
As a Dane, I love hearing these stories...
Great video covering Denmark during ww2, thank you ♥
Thank you
Yes, including accuracy about the "Cold Shoulder / Passive Resistance" phase (angling for as much Danish independence as possible), building, strengthening into effective active Resistance. While a pic was shown of the King on horseback doing his famous (encouraging) daily greeting and saluting of Danish citizens, the pic wasn't identified.
Excellent and extremely well researched video, as always.
I come from denmark myself and the way the announcer said the City called fredericia gave me chills. great video.
Hej!! Greetings from Aarhus, Denmark!!
Great video and congratulations on your Danish pronunciation....except for the word 'Aarhus'...sometimes written as Århus.
But don't worry...Danish pronunciation is notoriously tricky!!
You pronounced it 'Ar-hoos', which isn't quite correct.
The double Aa (Å) is pronounced 'awe', as in 'shock and awe'....or 'or'!!
So Aarhus is pronounced 'Awe-hoos'. (Or-hoos)
And Aalborg is pronounced 'Awl-bore'..the 'g' is silent.
And Danish 'r', as in the name 'Grethe' is not rolled, but made in the mouth at the back of the tongue....a tough one one for non-Danes!!
She need no tears shed, because she lived a long and (undeserved) happy life.
Well....at least she expressed guilt and regret over her part in betraying the Partisans. Whether it was sincere or not, who is to say.
Thanks another great video,also great narator
Thank you so much :)
Well done! Great video
Great video as always 🙏
Thank you so much
Your ability to produce a change of pace periodically is refreshing in some way, and keeps your edge very sharp.
Dora, Dora, Dora the informerrrrr!
She was mad at her father and brothers. Wonder why 🙄
Pure evil--you can't fix that.
Yet there were plenty of British SOE agents doing exactly the same thing , breaking the rules of war and they're regarded as 'brave resistance fighters ' ,
@@peterkin1010 Yes perhaps from your point of view Neo Nazi. British SOE executed collaborators and other top Nazis for the purposes of bringing the war to a close. Whatever your misguided opinion is on this saboteurs and partisans disrupted the Nazi efforts. They fought against great odds and were rightly decorated for their bravery even though they had abide to the strict Official Secrets Act. No right minded person murders another unless for the purposes of battle where one must kill or be killed. The British and the Allies faced a ruthless enemy that indiscriminately murdered millions based on eugenics. This eradication was nothing more than genocide. Don’t excuse what the Nazis did by pointing fingers at brave Allied combatants and calling them war criminals.
There were no tears shed for….
It,s a crying shame she lived such a long life, while her VICTIMS did not!
Keep these videos coming. Thank you.
Please can you do a video on Dinko Sakic and the role Croatia played as a Nazi Ally
I’m not sure she was ever truly sorry for what she did. How unfortunate for her.
Hmm.... thank You for an informative video. It explains a lot to me personally.
I never really thought about it, but it was strange that my aunt moved to Esbjerg as a divorce lawyer and her husband - a known liquidator of the resistence got a commision as an officer at the artillery regiment in Varde. They were personal freinds with the chief of police.
Now Grethe Bartram was a communist,, and there was a deep devide between the communists and the other parts of the resistance movement.
But this another piece of the puzzle.
It should be added, that my aunt was very well informed - and kept her trap shut - about the RAF attack on the Shell House. One of the bombing raids the RAF remains very proud of. The political prisoner on the top floor had a high escape rate, but the captive Danish general and his staff got killed - due to the time of day the raid was performed.
I think John Steinbeck's novel, "The Moon is Down", is based on the Danish Resistance in WWII.
P.S.: The king of Denmark and the Danish people were heroes who saved many of their Jewish citizens from capture by the Nazis.
1:17 Gray-ta Baarthrrum
I love how he exaggerates the pronunciations of the names 😂
Such an evil woman…
Hello. Do you know if there were lots of collaborators to the Nazis, especially Jewish ones?
Hi Michael, we will talk more about the Holocaust and the Jews in Denmark in one of our upcoming videos which will be released this month ... Thanks God majority of the Jews in Denmark did survive the war ... we will explain more in the video on which we already work. In Denmark there were not many collaborators ...Greetings.
Sources??
Ah; one that got away.
There are people who will sell even their loved ones by the pound if it meant
their own survival, or if the price is right! And I hate being right in saying this!
A hardened heart,Grethe has the look🤔
She saw the chance to inherent all!
Not too sure . I might shed one tear perhaps because of her moral redemption .
12:40 Is there a Norwegian Vessigebro? I don't think so...
The danish, arian fellows...
Hey World History Channel. I love your videos and the educational material that you provide.
This woman was evil and shale burn in hell with all of the other Nazis.
Also, I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on Saint Maximillian Kolbe. He Gave his life for another prisoner in Auschwitz in WWII. I think that it would be a nice video idea
Hello Sienna, We thank you for the compliment! We posted a video about Saint Maximillian Kolbe 2 months ago here: czcams.com/video/e5IvChrclPA/video.html We wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
* She'll.
@@WorldHistoryVideosMy apologize. I didn’t see it before when I searched it up. I guess i must have spelled it wrong. Love your videos
@@Sienna6164 No problem. Thanks for watching our videos. Have a nice day :)
@@WorldHistoryVideos Of course. You too
So she was a Karren.
Oh, she is lovely.
What about Peter AH’s much loved cat?😼

Some nasty fascist comments among the more reflected comments here. Quite worrisome. Cannot imagine informing on our brave resistance people, nor on your own family. Horrendous. I would give my life for my family and for Denmark 🇩🇰.
It the narrator a human or AI?
Only she knew if her remorse was genuine. Only those who have lived through those events have a right to judge her and the many other collaborators. The rest can’t know how they would have behaved.
She did it for financial gain. She and her family were never personally threatened by the Nazis, so that could not have been her motivation. She wanted money.
Ans Van Dijk to me was still the worst Dutch collaborator.
Hi. Grethe was a Danish collaborator and what she did was really bad as well ... see the video.
@@WorldHistoryVideoshah of course I the dumb American once again confuse Denmark with The Netherlands
Femke Halalsema and SiegHell Kaag are very bad as well.
@@TheDigitalApple you are not dumb! Thanks for being with us for such a long time :) Great to have you here.

Grethe Bartram

Hail Grethe !
@@peterkin1010 What do you mean?
@@peterkin1010 Fascist!
@@peterkin1010Traitor.
Why were the Scandinavians so passive?
The Danish resistance movement ferried 7000 Jews--the entire population of Jews in Denmark--out of the country before the Nazis could round them up and send them to extermination camps in Poland, i.e., Auschwitz. That's hardly passive.
In what way? It's meant as a genuine question. If you can be a bit more specific, I might be able to answer your question. Regards from Denmark.
Because they don't like the sight of blood especially if it's their own. 😁😁They will still be as useless as a chocolate teapot if there is a war with Russia. Only the British and Americans would save Europe again and
the Brits don't care what happens in Europe only their island. Putin has more advantages than he realises
as the west is weak woke and ripe for the picking
It's a cultural trait. Kind of like "why are canadians so polite".
Also the Nazis were weaboos for nordic stuff which made it easier to deflect their idiotic gaze.
AI voices are so horribly bad.
De a th
"Bestial"? You don't know the meaning of the word.
Where did you learn about history?
I guess "history is always written by the winners" is the only book you've ever read?!😂
Cui bono.
But truth is the daughter of time.
Meh. They got what resistance types always get. I thought this would be about a righteous citizen who turned in jews to the SS.
Righteous ?
They all had it coming
