The invasion leading to the five-year German occupation of Denmark  had begun. The Occupation was a dark and difficult time for the Danish  people, but for five-year-old Peter, it was an exciting adventure that would  in many ways shape both his future and that of his beloved country.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Conquered, Not Defeated, Peter Tveskov blends vivid childhood memories  with historical fact to tell the story of how the occupying army of the  Third Reich tried—and ultimately failed—to crush the customs, will, and  spirit of the Danish people. It is a story not often told nor easily  forgotten. Includes 12 pages of rare photographs.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Tveskov was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and lived there until three  days after his fourteenth birthday in 1948, when he and his mother moved to  Venezuela where he completed his secondary education.
