During the German occupation of Denmark of WWII, King Christian X of Denmark and Iceland used to ride daily through the streets of Copenhagen unaccompanied while the people stood and waved to him. It is said that one day, a German soldier remarked to a young boy that he found it odd that the king would ride with no bodyguard. The boy reportedly replied, “All of Denmark is his bodyguard.”
