Ceased publication with issue nr. 3. According to the standard reference [ Buschardt & Fabritius 'Besættelsestidens illegale Blade og Bøger 1940-1945'], the group responsible, which was connected to the printing profession, printed several illegal books and single numbers of other illegal magazines. Part of the edition was taken over by other illegal publishers. The Gestapo discovered and stopped five of the printers who did illegal work for the group. During the Gestapo raids one of the employees was arrested and deported to a German concentration camp. In June 44, the editor had to flee to Sweden, while a third employee issued the planned issue, which appeared in October, after which the magazine ceased.
