	Holger Danske is a mythological character from Denmark.
 Way back about 900 A D he went traveling and was a renowned warrior
 in Europe. In France he is known by the name OGIER LE DANOIS.
 In his old age he came home and went to sleep. Tourists visiting
 the Kronborg Castle in Helsingor (Elsinore) will find a statue of
 him in the Casemats (underground dungeon) showing an old bearded man
 sleeping at a table. It is said that in a time of peril to the nation
 he shall awaken again and save Denmark. During the German occupation
 of Denmark 1940-1945 one of the strongest resistance groups was named
 Holger Danske.
