Våbenhulen i 'Kongeskoven'
Det var det perfekte skjulested for illegalt arbejde. Ingen uvedkommende kunne forstyrre bag hegnet i “Kongeskoven”, og her havde Farsø Gruppe 3 indrettet en stor hule, hvor de kunne pakke og fordele nedkastede våben og andet materiel
Dyrlæge Axel Sonne i Farsø var en central skikkelse i modstandsarbejdet i Danmark og meget tidligt med i inderkredsen omkring Dansk Samling. I juli 1942 blev Axel Sonne kontaktet på af Michael Rottbøll, der nogle måneder forinden var sprunget ud fra et engelsk fly som kaptajn i Special Force og havde etableret kontakten til Flemming Juncker. Rottbøll var udset til at være chef for de faldskærmsfolk, der allerede var landet, og Sonne fik til opgave at forme en gruppe, der skulle stå for den første organiserede modtagning af engelske agenter i Danmark.
Modtagningen skulle finde sted natten til den 1. august 1942 på Fladheden, ikke langt fra Jagtgården i Trend. Gruppen bestod af Rottbøl, Axel Sonne samt Christian Ulrik Hansen fra Farsø og Erik Nymann fra Skive.
Aktionen gik godt, men en af de tre forstuvede dog en ankel, og måske derfor fik han ikke sin faldskærm gravet forsvarligt ned. Dagen efter blev den fundet på Den Indkastede Vej af mælkekusken, som stolt viste den frem på hele resten af sin rute.
Også tyskerne fik derved nys om, at der var foregået en nedkastning. Ydermere havde piloten fejldroppet en enkelt container med våben ved Ranum, hvor en glad dreng havde leget i mørket med sin flotte fødselsdagsgave: en lommelygte!
- Allerede næste dag var der fyldt med dansk politi i Farsø, og min far kom igen i søgelyset. Men atter var han heldig, for politimanden havde den rette indstilling og var ikke interesseret i at opklare noget som helst for tyskerne, husker Bent Sonne.
I efteråret 43 formede Axel Sonne efter opfordring fra Christian Ulrik Hansen Farsø gruppe 2, der trods flere forsøg aldrig fik kontakt med nedkastningsflyene. Gruppen blev opløst 29. februar 1944, da en stikker fra nabogruppen i Aars angav dem alle, og medlemmerne røg enten i tugthus, blev interneret eller gik under jorden.
Derfor fik Axel Sonne igen i oktober 1944 til opgave at forme en tredje gruppe i Farsø, som kunne modtage og fordele våben. Denne gruppe bestod, foruden dyrlægen selv og hans søn Bent, af nogle unge landmænd, byens politibetjent og ikke mindst skovfogeden på Jagtgården i Trend.
På Axel Sonnes opfordring var skovfoged Asmussen straks med på at etablere en nedkastningsplads inde på det kongelige jagtterræn, som af hensyn til vildtet var forsvarligt indhegnet.
- Vi gravede en stor, underjordisk hule til pakning af våben, spængstof og hvad der ellers måtte være i containerne, så det var klar til videre forsendelse. Vi, der ikke havde et arbejde at passe, kunne virke der hele dagen, og vi holdt vore pauser oppe i skovfogedboligen. Der kunne jo ikke komme uanmeldte gæster, for man skulle have nøgle for at komme indenfor vildthegnet, så det var ren luksus, husker Bent Sonne.
- Vi var 10-12 mand herude og stod placeret i en stor firkant med slukkede lommelygter, med 100 meters afstand. Min opgave var at løbe fra post til post og give ordre til at tænde lys, når vi var sikre på, at det var en englænder, der var i luften over os. Da det skete, løb jeg som en besat i mørket, én efter én blev lommelygterne tændt, og kort efter landede containerne med våben på Fladheden. En enkelt af containerne brast i luften, og geværerne nærmest regnede ned over os, dog uden at ramme nogen, fortæller Bent Sonne.
Hele familien Sonne var stærkt involveret i modstandskampen, men alle holdt kortene tæt ind til kroppen, også indbyrdes. Den ældste bror, Jørn Sonne, havde på et tidligt tidspunkt efterretningsopgaver for de allierede, og han var kun sekunder fra at miste livet i den ildkamp, som resulterede i Vagn Bennikes død.
Per Sonne var med i Holger Danske Gruppe 4 og deltog i talrige aktioner mod tyskerne. Han blev taget af Gestapo 19. maj 1944 og senere likvideret af tyskerne på en mark ved Osted mellem Roskilde og Ringsted.
Bent Sonne, der var den yngste bror, var i starten med til trykning og fordeling af løbesedler, illegale blade og bøger m.v. og kom senere med i Farsø-gruppen, hvorefter han deltog i mange forskellige aktioner i lokalområdet.
Med velvilje fra Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe II genså Bent Sonne i 2007 området i Trend Storskov, hvor mange af begivenhederne fandt sted.
Here is the gate - or one of them - which lead into the royal family sanctuary - known as the Royal Forest of Trend.

Weapons cave in 'King Forest'
It was the perfect hiding place for illegal work. No unauthorized persons could disturb the fence in "King wood" and here had Farsø Group 3 decorated a large cave where they could package and benefits dropping weapons and other materiel
Veterinarian Axel Sonne in Farsø was a central figure in the resistance worked in Denmark and very early in the inner circle around Danish Collection. In July 1942, Axel Sonne contacted by Michael Rottboell there some months earlier had jumped from an English aircraft as captain in the Special Force and had established contacts with Flemming Juncker. Rotboell was chosen to be commander of the parachutists who already had landed and Sonne was tasked to form a group to stand for the first organized reception of British agents in Denmark.
Reception to be held the night of the first August 1942 at Flat heath, not far from Hunting Farm in Trend. The group consisted of Rottbøl, Axel Sonne and Christian Ulrik Hansen Farsø and Erik Nyman of Skive.
The action went well, but one of the three, however, sprained an ankle, and perhaps therefore he had not undermined his parachute safely down. The day after it was found on the Indkastede Way of milk carter who proudly showed it throughout the rest of its route.
Also the Germans got wind of the order that had happened a dropping. Furthermore, the pilot error dropped a single container with weapons at Ranum, where a happy boy had been playing in the dark with his beautiful birthday gift: a flashlight!
- The very next day was filled with Danish police in Farsø and my dad came back in the spotlight. But again he was lucky, because the police officer had the right attitude and was not interested in solving anything for the Germans, remember Bent Sonne.
In the autumn of 43 shaped Axel Sonne at the invitation of Christian Ulrik Hansen Farsø group 2, despite several attempts never made contact with nedkastningsflyene. The group was disbanded 29th February 1944, when a protruding from neighboring group in Aars gave them all, and the members smoke, either in hard labor, were detained or went underground.
Why was Axel Sonne again in October 1944 with the task of forming a third group in Farsø that could receive and distribute weapons. This group consisted, besides the vet himself and his son Bent, by some young farmers, city police officer and especially forest ranger on Hunting Farm in Trend.
At Axel Sonne's exhortation ranger Asmussen immediately to establish a drop zone in the royal hunting ground, which for the game was securely fenced.
- We dug a large underground cavern for the containment of weapons spængstof and whatever else might be in containers, so it was ready for shipment. We who did not have a job to fit, could work there all day and we kept our breaks up the ranger residence. There could not come unannounced guests, because you have the key to get inside game fence, so it was pure luxury, remembers Bent Sonne.
- We were 10-12 man out here and was placed in a large rectangle with extinguished torches, with 100 feet away. My job was to run from post to post and give the order to light candles when we were sure that it was an Englishman who was in the air above us. When it happened, I ran like a man possessed in the darkness, one after the torches were lit, and soon after landed the containers with weapons on Flat Unit. One of the containers burst in the air and the guns almost rained down on us, without hitting anyone, says Bent Sonne.
The whole family Sonne was heavily involved in the resistance, but everyone kept their cards close to your body, even among themselves. The eldest brother, Jørn Sonne, had early intelligence assignments for the Allies, and he was only seconds away from losing their lives in the firefight that resulted in Vagn Bennike death.
Per Sonne was in Holger Danish Group 4 and participated in numerous operations against the Germans. He was taken by the Gestapo 19th May 1944 and later liquidated by the Germans in a field near Osted between Roskilde and Ringsted.
Bent Sonne, who was the youngest brother was in the beginning of printing and distributing flyers, illegal newspapers and books, etc. and later joined in Farsø group, after which he attended many different actions in the local area.
With the goodwill of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II rejoin Bent Sonne in 2007 the area of ??Trend Great Forest, where many events took
