a desperate attempt to justify Denmark for WW2
6 September 2015 | by See all my reviews

Brave Danish Army/ LOLWUT??????

Denmark was invaded in 6 hours. Don't rewrite history.

For over 70 years is propaganda to discredit the Soviet Union and the justification/neutral opinion in Nazi Germany. According to Western media turns out that the war was won by the United States and the Soviet Union never participated. I'm not making fun of Denmark (move was made correctly - surrender to incur smaller losses) but the lie you desperately fought against the powerful army - its too much

"Sixteen Danish soldiers died in the invasion, but after two hours the Danish government surrendered , believing that resistance was useless and hoping to work out an advantageous agreement with Germany."
