Id heard about Denmarks very brief hours long resistance at the border in 1940 but not this much more significant resistance and scuttling in 43, thank you
FYI, at 8:23 there is film of the Danish King Christian X on his daily ride through the streets of Copenhagen, unaccompanied except by a usual bunch of ordinary citizens riding bikes behind him. Widely remembered as a show of resistance.
Firstly: It was NOT a so-called surprise attack ! The gold reserves (to- together with Nor- way's), was removed and sailed to Britain in late 1939. Besides : Many of the mention ships were raised later on. Even the coastal "battleship" (2×8" guns) Peder Skram build in 1898 !
Yeah, kind of naïve to remain neutral in a war where the enemy is conquering the entire continent. That didn't work out for them. Haha. I guess going off WW1 experience, it made sense.
jon: You REALLY swallowed all that anti-German war propaganda. Look around you, who wanted to conquer the world, and who has most of the wars going today? Contrary to this doubtful video, Germany occupied Norway and Denmark because Britain was about to do the same. The effective control of access to the Baltic Sea was mostly terminated with the construction and then enlargement of the Kiel Canal which joins the North Sea to the Baltic Sea via this all German Canal. Needless to say the Danes and Norwegians were royally peeved with the construction of this canal.
Denmark did not fight well at all in WW2. There was no value or point in producing this video. The Danish Navy was ineffective. The only significant Danish achievement was Anders Larsson, who was in the SAS.
If you want to praise someone, the least you could do is to get their name right: Major Anders Lassen. You lack of accuracy in such a simple matter reflects poorly on how serious your other opinions should be taken. A proud Dane.
@ulrikschackmeyer848 At least I know about him and his achievements in the SAS as well as how he was killed in action. Do you know much about other nationalities who fought heroically in WW2? By the way, I have lived in Denmark as an expatriate. So, I know much about the Danes.

I really like and enjoy your channel any chance you can do the austro-hungarian Navy I would really like and enjoy that
We DID fight the invasion. But were overwelmed after 4 hours. 11 Danes fell to German forces on April 9. 1940. Honored be their memory.
Thanks for watching and have a great week :)

Justland is NOT an island, but an peninsula bordering Germany in the south.

Brave sailors
Jutland is a peninsula not an island. It's the only part of Denmark joined to mainland Europe.
Beasts!
9:13 hvad snakker du om? vi har altid været på de allieredes side ;)
Denmark and Norway were both invaded in the early morning of 04/09 1940.
Yes, but the Norwegians resisted more stoutly. At the fortress of Osksrsberg, coastal artillery, sank a German heavy cruiser.

Yes they tried in vain to repeat WWI, same foreign minister but different outcome.
Denmark had a navy??
Yep! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)

The only significant Danish achievement was Anders Lassen (not Larsson)? I think you should dig a little more into the subject...
240 danish merchant ships and 6500 danish sailors served in the allied convoys. I think that would count as a significant achievement.
Denmark. Defending Greenland since, who cares?
