I just ran some text through the Babelfish translator, so I hope the German in the comic is complete nonsense.
Many people have asked me, “On what side was Denmark doing World War II?” and the anwser is that you will get different answers depending on who you ask, even within Denmark, because Denmark’s way of handling the situation was rather unconventional.
Nazi Germany saw Denmark as one of the most aryan countries in the world, and decided to do a “friendly invasion” so that Denmark wouldn’t fall into the hands of the enemy. Denmark was shit scared of Nazi Germany after what had happened to Poland and we were well aware that we couldn’t fight them. But we knew that the Nazis liked us, so what Denmark did was this: We quickly shipped 99% of the country’s Jews off to Sweden where they would be safe, then (sort of) fought the Germans for two hours to show the rest of the world that we weren’t completely on their side, before just giving up and letting them march in.
We then proceeded to treat the soldiers as nice as possible, hoping that Hitler would be kind to us if we behaved. Denmark even became known as the “whipped cream front” among the Germans because we were so nice, and it was every German soldier’s dream to be sent to Denmark were they didn’t have to fight or fear for their life.
So it’s no wonder Denmark was often called Nazi friendly.
And Sweden of course weren’t completely passive doing the way, and did help their surrounding countries a little thought the war (helping Jews anyone?). I just thought it would be funnier like this.
Did you know? The Ice cream brand Häagen-Dazs was created by a Jewish man after WWII. He gave it the Danish-sounding name to honour the Danes' exceptional treatment of the Jewish people during the war. In fact, on some early containers, a map of Denmark was included on the label.
@Zuperkrunch We tried, but were conquered. Still, we actively resisted the occupation. Guerrilla and resistance groups like Gutta på skauen and MILORG, and the famous Battle of Oscarsborg, when Commander Birger Eriksen broke chain of command to delay German troops and allow the parliament and royal family to escape, taking down one of the German fleet's most advanced warships with recruits and elderly veterans. It's also worth noting that Norway, in this period, had two governments: The puppet government instated by the third reich, led by traitor Vidkun Quisling, and the "True" government or Government in Exile, led by Johan Nygaardsvoll and King Haakon VII. The second became an important symbol of Norwegian resistance, and many used the sigil of king Haakon to demonstrate their allegiance.
Sie feigling! Haben sie kein Dorn! Standplatz gerade! Stoppen Sie zu schreien! Sie sind pathetisch... old dummy Polish Texan!!! Polish Texan still big fat LOSER
Though in all fairness I do think they handled the situation rather well. I often say it's a world leaders job to defend their country, and since Dennmark couldn't win against Nazi Germany the best way of defending Dennmarks population was to send away 99% of the Danish jews and to surrender and be nice. The Danes did the best they could, considering their situation.
You coward! Do they have no spine! Stand straight! Stop screaming! You are pathetic!
