as a dane this is a big overstatement. there was surdenly no famine... there were rations yes, but the danish ocupation was one of the lightest of them all..the danish goverment held power for the first 3 years where we were autonamous. after 3 years the goverment itself stood down. the danish goverments was willing to go very far in its coroperation with the germans. and resitance was small by population, about 1%. and 1 % actively fighting for the germans out of political conviction on the eastern front. 98% just tried to sruvive. so what you are saying is a big overstatement. and i kindly ask you to do your own research.

Firstly, the proclamations which the Germans threw out over the cities, were not threats with destruction of the cities if Denmark did not surrender. It said that because of England and Churchill, Germany had seen the need to invade Denmark and Norway to protect them from England and that all resistance, against the German army would be useless.

Second, the king did not flee. Yes, there were battles outside the castle, but the king were meeting with the prime minister, the foreign minister, the defense minister, the army chief and his son the crown prince at the castle, where they decided to agree to the German demands.

Up until the end of the war, the king rode his horse through the streets of Copenhagen every morning, in defiance of the German defense forces, and became a symbol of peace and hope for the Danish people.

No one starved in Denmark during the occupation. Certain food items were rationed but others were not. There was more lack of food items in Germany.

Israel had a Six Day War, and in this case Germany had a Six Hour War.

Denmark played both sides, and even contributed 6000 men into the Waffen SS. Of all the occupied German territories, Denmark faired the best with the least amount of destruction and deaths.

The most exciting part of the war with Danish eyes, must have been the total evacuation of the Jewish community in Denmark.
This was one of the forgotten moments of bravery and sheer will to beat the beast, and we unfortunately lost 197 Jewish Danes to the nazi's, but 98% made it to neutral Sweden.

My lil brother would want to see this he's interested in anything German and their history

[tom_bout]

Can you cover the Merovingians and their battles please? God bless

[realdragao]

I imagine that this is how the invasion of denmark went
Wehrmacht: surrender, or get annihilated
Danes: oh hi, would you like some tea?

[mammasut]

Just a small issue with your headline. Denmark was never in a state of war with Germany 1940-45. You are reproducing memes LOL

[el_chico]

from marauding vikings to pacifists, would be cool to vikings haunting down nazis

[brock]

It sounds more like you are describing the holodomor.

[markcahill]

This is what happens when the vikings leave to take over other countries 🤷‍♂️
