Danish WW2 Soldier

Denmark’s armed forces faced the German invasion of April 1940 under conditions of overwhelming strategic disadvantage. Organized resistance was brief, and the occupation subsequently transformed the country’s military situation. Danish personnel later contributed through resistance, exile, and other Allied-linked activity. Denmark’s strategic geography gave it a very different wartime position from the large belligerent armies. German occupation affected ports, airfields, and routes between the North Sea and Baltic. A soldier from April 1940 belongs to the brief campaign against invasion, whereas later clandestine or exile service requires a different historical description and visual identity. Germany invaded Denmark on 9 April 1940, beginning an occupation that lasted until 1945.
