The
Invasion
Early in the morning
of the 9th
of April 1940, the Danes woke up to the sound of
low flying aircrafts which were dropping leaflets over
the Danish towns.
German troops had invaded
Denmark, to secure the Danish airbases in their invasion
of Norway.
In Copenhagen troops
landed by ships, and took control over the town.
A few places
along the border the Danish Army took up the
fight, but the size, location and the terrain
of Denmark, made it very difficult to offer
any serious resistance, and after some hours
of fighting the King ordered the Danish soldiers
to surrender.
