When "The Lemon" came back from Sweden at the end of 1943 he visited his wife Bodil. They decided to move from the family's official apartment in Frederiksberg to a rented terraced house 67 m2, Islandsvej 6A Ørholm, Kgs.
The house belonged to the family Rosenberg, who at the end of September 1943 had fled to Sweden from Vedbæk Harbour. Lawyer Per Federspiel on Max Roth Petersburg law office managed many of the abandoned Jewish property.
Some of the family's personal effects were taken to safety by assistant Svend Dyhr on Islandsvej 3A, but all major furniture was still in the house.
The house they rented was a small terraced house, which stood at Islandsvej 6A in Ørholm. Here they lived for several months until they were able to borrow a villa in Charlottenlund. (Photo May 12, 1945).
Since the "The Lemon" moved agreed the new tenant with the law firm that the family Rosenberg's furniture should be run for storage.
Moving people lost a big heavy cabinet, as they picked up from the basement. Out tumbled six German uniforms, more separate machineguns, hand grenades and a pair of pistols.
The new tenant contacted Lyngby Police who came and fetched effects from the closet. The police did not dare return the found uniforms to "The Lemon", but the many weapons he was extradited.
The transport company was told that the travel part of Rosenberg's furniture for storage. The damaged cabinet was moved out on the terrace at the back of the house where it still stood in May 1945. Neighbors and opposite neighbors wondered that a closet was outside on the patio in any weather for a whole year.
Part of Roseberg´s furniture disappeared. One of the "The Lemon" comrades had made sure that the furniture was taken to storage in a rented garage. The garage was rented in a false name.
Nobody knew whether you could trust the transport company and would ensure that the furniture could not be traced to the "Lemon". Resistance quickly arranged to move the furniture from the garage to an unknown location.

Islandsvej, Ørholm, Lyngby. "The Lemon", Bodil og Anne lived on the even numbers in a house not far from the "forest Troldehøj".
Islandsvej 6A, built 1937-1938 by director Albert Svendsen. The first family was Rosenberg who moved into first August 1938th. The toilet room has a skylight that "The Lemon" suspected that he could crawl out and then disappear over the flat roof into the "forest Troldehøj".
Ørholm, north of Copenhagen. Although there was rail service near the house (Nærumbanen) felt "The Lemon" that he was too far from their work.
The wife Bodil was nervous George illegal work. She believed that when they lived so far away from Copenhagen so her husband would stay still. He was still very active and often he was away for several days, primarily with helping fugitives to Sweden.
He worked for organizations "Speditøren /Freight forwarder" and "Holger Danske". Precisely the dual role cost him his life 15th October 1944.
His friend journalist Bent Demer says that "The Lemon" burned a mattress factory in Raadvad a Sunday in 1944 during a stroll with Bodil and her daughter Anne. The damage at the factory would have run into a few million DKK (today about 40 mill. DKK).
It has not been possible to find information about this sabotage, perhaps somewhat "exaggerated" in his friend's description.
