| Den 9. april 1940 - Jeg skriver egentlig bare det her, for at mindes den 9. april for 65 år siden.
Dagen betyder stadig noget særligt for folk - flagene er på halv. Lad os håbe dette aldrig gentager sig | |

| - that would've been about the time nazi occupation started? | |

| - The first country they attacked was Poland so..
Actually, the occupation of Denmark was one of the shortest 'wars' ever seen. | |

| - It was the shortest war, in history, because there _was no war_. The pro-nazi Danish government decided _not_ to fight the nazi-germans, and instead let them walk right into our country. They cooperated with the Nazis doing the rest of WWII. Only the Danish people were fighting.

| - Det er det, jeg mener. Folket kæmpede imod. Men jeg er vel bare dårlig til at udtrykke mig forståeligt - men uanset hvad, synes jeg, dagen fortjente at blive nævnt | |

| - Yes Jenkie, but Poland was September '39. I don't think there was much chance for Denmark to resist Germany anyway. Look what happened to Holland when they did... Rotterdam got bombed to the ground by the Luftwaffe. In those early days the German army was unstoppable.
How did it affect life though? Things went on much as usual? Obviously there would have been much resentment to the invading force... | |

| - Both the danish and the swedish goverments during this period has things to be ashamed of. | |
