Preben Gylche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preben Gylche (30 January 1927 – 27 February 1945) was a member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power. He was the son of Karl Paul Kristian Gylche.
On 19 September 1944 the German occupation force began their deportation of the Danish police including Gylche's 54-year-old father who within two months died in Buchenwald concentration camp.[citation needed] This undoubtedly influenced Gylche's decision to engage in active resistance.[1]
Gylche was wounded in a firefight and arrested by the Gestapo on 8 February 1945 and a court martial subsequently sentenced him to death.[1]
On 27 February 1945 Gylche and nine other resistance members were executed in Ryvangen.[2]
