Hitler threatened to flatten Oslo with bombers. Norwegian government didn't want to end up with a city like Warsaw and capitulated. I believe Denmark had the same fear. Secondly none of the Nordic country's had the resources to really put up a fight with the Germans. Norway fought for 3 weeks before caving in but did some significant damage during that period of time. Mostly Naval damage. Several city's got heavily bombed during the 3 weeks.
Anyways, if interested there are 2 great WWII movies about the resistance in Denmark and Norway called "Flammen og Citronen" and "Max Manus". Both good movies and worth the time
