What happens

Svømmepigernes Hjemkomst er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1938. De sejrrige danske svømmepiger, blandt dem er Ragnhild Hveger og Inge Sørensen, vender hjem fra europamesterskaberne i London og bliver i august 1938 modtaget med jubel og begejstring. Både i Esbjerg og Kastrup er der stor og hjertelig modtagelse. Festlighederne kulminerer på Rådhuspladsen, hvor titusinder af københavnere er mødt op for at fejre dem. Overborgmester Viggo Christensen holder velkomsttalen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
