I am pretty sure that a lot of things are not all flowers and monty but I wonder what kind of dark secrets you can spill that might be a shock for everyone? It is very interesting to hear new things that haven't been laid out or discussed before - not to point out, made visible for us!

Thanks Ltbear for putting this up. Great reading - well done Sir.

As you have mentioned, there is still speculation about what the motivation was, for Letting the Germann in at this time.

I saw a show yesterday where they belived, that the Goverment at that time strongly believed that the Germans would win the war and, therefore, was best interests, if they did not do too much resistance. This attitude hold right up to 43

It is debatable whether this was cowardly, but one thing is certain. It has saved many lives. Denmark did not have a real chance to provide enough resistance to stop the Germans. It would have been a slaughterhouse.

Unfortunately, this gave the Germans to quickly subsequent to occupy Norway. There was quite simply not enough time to prepare a warm welcome to the Germans in Norway, which the Allies would have wished they had.

But the Dane was fortunately not a bunch that went right down. There were subsequent many resistance groups taht did sabotage against the Germans. How effective it really was is not known with accuracy, but it is a fact that it was a great significant burdens for the occupation forces. (æøå)
