However, not very nice to see my country as "occupied"  :(
But that's history.. ;)

Cheers Theis

Hey, you asked... ;D

Don't feel bad. Denmark's options were even more limited than France's. Had they chosen to openly resist, it would've been much worse for them... the geography made them sitting ducks against a mechanized air, sea and land assault.

And of course Denmark survived intact and got their sovereignty back, in no small part due to native underground resistance.

Yea, that's right :)
My granddad kept explosives for the resistance forces..
He had enough explosives, that he could blow half of Copenhagen to bits!! ;D
