Intro

The printing works printed the anti-Semitic magazine "Kamptegnet" (The Fighting Sign) and similar propaganda material for DNSAP. The saboteurs planted two explosive charges in the printing plant itself and started a fire in the basement, which was used as a fuel and storage room. In the explosions, two printing machines were severely damaged and partially destroyed. In the basement, two fires were found on the stairs and in the paper warehouse. In addition, a bottle of sulphuric acid and three buckets of printing ink were found, which were believed to have originated from the sabotage.
