The airmen's grave at Stadil

The airmen's grave at Stadil

1943 and the Second World War was at its height. On the night of September 4, activity was hectic. Hundreds of British bombers attacked Berlin. When the planes flew away, they left more than 550 dead. But there were also casualties on the British side.

On the way back, Avro Lancaster III EE138 was attacked by a JU 88C-6 night fighter. The plane crashed with a violent explosion in Fuglbjerg, west of Stadil. The eight people on board could not be identified and they are still resting in the soft meadow soil.

Avro Lancaster III EE138 was just one of three Lancaster crashes in Denmark that night.

To honor the fallen, the residents of Stadil first erected a wooden cross. In 1950, a memorial stone was erected and there is also a memorial plaque. In 2013, a propeller blade from the plane was erected on the site.

You learn a lot

It's well worth a visit. You'll learn a lot about fishing and the history of Hvide Sande. You can look at the fish in the aquariums. Very nice.

A little trip into another time

It was like a little trip into another time. The kids had fun walking on stilts. The cake and coffee were very good and the café was really nice.

Interactive for young and old

A living museum where you can learn a lot about fish and fishing/fishing trips. It's interactive for young and old, whether it's on the bridge of a fishing boat or in the cabin. You can also admire and touch fish and crabs.
