    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.

    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.

    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.

      The Danish King stayed! He could have gone to England, but chose to stay with his people. The Danes protected their Jewish citizens better than other occupied countries. Very admirable.

    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.

      they were doomed anyway . if they chose to resist the teutonics would genocide them like how they did to the baltics . a crusade would hunt every son of odin to the last . vikings were profiting from a period of european weakness but by the 1000s they were clearly losing ground fast to the feudal crusader countries . they actually saved their existence by deciding not to resist . the baltic was almost cleansed of its slav inhabitants by the teutonics during the baltic crusades . at that time the only ones who could really fight toe to toe with the feudals were the muslims and mongols , the vikings were simply outgunned and outnumbered

    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.

    This is full of simply wrong facts.
    No, the Danish economy did not collapse during the German occupation in World War II. In fact, the Danish economy fared relatively well compared to many other occupied European countries, although it faced certain constraints and challenges.^
    Also, during the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, there was no widespread famine, and the Danish population did not experience mass starvation. I have no idea how someone would be this wrong. Even in the 1 concentration camp that was set up in Denmark, there wasnt even a single case of anybody starving to death.
