In the years after World War II, young Danish girls sold their company to strong American soldiers who were on leave from the West German bases.

One day in 1946 a desperate husband wanders around in front of the dance district Scala in the inner part of Copenhagen.

In a report, a police officer notes that the man asks for help to find the wife if ".. children aged 2, 4 and 6 missed her greatly. For three days she has not been home and has previously sought Allied soldiers, " as it says.

The man then follows his 24-year-old wandered wife, whom he suspects to romp with the American leave soldiers who fought with young girls behind the locked doors of the Scala Hall.

The girls were called American girls . One of them could you hear on Wednesday night in 'Disappeared Legs on DR1', where the heiress Jytte as young talked to the American leave soldier Jesse at the Scandinavia Hotel in Copenhagen.

The talk between Jytte and Jesse evolves into a true love story. However, it ended up far from all the girls who tried the luck of the thousands of American soldiers. To many Americans, the hunt ended with a life on the verge of prostitution, involuntary pregnancies and with a relentless, moralizing society on the neck.

A "something for something" relationship
The aftermath of the German occupation was about to end in the late 40's.

But from 1945 until the mid-1960s, Copenhagen became a kind of holiday paradise for thousands of American leave soldiers. What attracted them to Denmark from the military bases in West Germany was among others the many adventurous Danish girls.

Ok, this was translated. Google automatically asked to translate it for me. This explains why there are a couple of lines in there that you have to read through a couple of times to understand what is actually said.

It was interesting how they used the Americans back then as a contrast and then identify this as a current American lifestyle now.
