The bloodiest invasion in history
And by far the longest war as it took the german reich 69,0000 years to fully invade denmark
@@Brejdu 💀👍
@@Brejdu we planted a ton of lego mines to slow em down
Wrong it’s not it was earth Omaha beach but not denmark
They stepped on Legos and Hitler even thought to surrender!!!!
Hitler slept and woke up while drinking his coffee asked a breifing of denmark invasion, his general told him it's already done
Hitler: wtf? That was fast
The Germans knew the Danes were going to surrender, actually. The Danish government had made it clear that they had no intention to fight, as they had refused to mobilise the army, despite the Danish intelligence service having overwhelming evidence that an attack was brewing. This was because a party called Radikale Venstre was in charge of Danish foreign- and defence policy. Radikale Venstre was founded as an anti-militarist party in opposition to the pro-military Venstre and very pro-military Højre / Konservative Folkeparti. During World War I the Foreign Minister (who was from Radikale Venstre as well) had made a deal with the Germans: The government would allow the Germans to occupy Jutland if Denmark was allowed to remain independent. The King would not have allowed this in 1917, and thus Denmark would've fought had Germany invaded then. However, in 1940 the King had lost much of his power, and the plan of the Radikale Venstre ministers was thus suddenly workable.
P. Munch, the Radikale Venstre Foreign Minister of 1940, did not make a deal with the Germans like his predecessor Erik Scavenius (though there have always been conspiracy theories that he did). What he did do, however, was conduct a policy that effectually made it clear to the Germans that Denmark would not defend itself, if the country was allowed to remain independent.
@@gustav331 Is that why so many Jews were kept safe in Denmark until 43 or 44?
@@frederickoftheartic2209 Yes. The quick Danish surrender meant that the Germans allowed Denmark to exist as an independent country with its own government. The Danish Army, Navy and Air Force was even allowed to exist alongside the German occupation forces until August 29th in 1943. The army's size was limited by the Germans, though. The German occupation was presented not as a hostile occupation, but as a 'peace occupation'. Very few Danes actually believed this German spin on events, though, and hostility to the Germans was always rife. Resistance therefore grew steadily, and in 1943 the Germans enforced martial law and attacked the army's garrisons in Operation Safari. Later the entire Danish police force, 10.000 men, was hunted down and deported to concentration camps because of the police's high level of involvement with the resistance. Many policemen managed to go underground and avoid deportation, however. The Danish underground army was thus one of largest per capita in occupied Europe by the end of World War II, numbering around 50.000 men.
@@gustav331 great summary! Thank you! I read Mark Mazower’s “Hitler’s Empire” and Adam Tooze’s “The Wages of Destruction,” but they kinda treat Denmark like an extraordinary footnote so to speak. They talk about how Denmark’s economy faired pretty well in WWII since the Germans didn’t requisition that much food or factory material. As such, Denmark still had a “thriving” economy and got through the war mostly in good order. I do not believe there was even a major food shortage in Denmark like in Greece and Amsterdam (2 non-Slavic examples)
You mean Hitler said:
Was soll's, das ging schnell.
Imagine you got drunk the night before and woke up the next afternoon at 1pm, suddenly you're German

Great Video as always👍
Appreciate that
No way they invaded 5% of Denmark and there was only 13 casualties
The Danish Army wasn't mobilised, so there very few troops ready for combat. The government had also refused to let the army dig in or make defences. The few that were at the border were thus conscripts who hadn't finished basic training, and they hadn't even been allowed to make preparations.
The Danish Army would've counted 94.000 men if it had been fully mobilised. That was actually the most per capita of any Scandinavian country, extraordinarily enough.
@@gustav331 Nah sweden had like a million
@@freskom Sweden had, if fully mobilised, a force of only 130.000 men in 1940. The army had six divisions plus local defence forces. The largest infantry formation in Skåne on the 9th of April 1940 was a Danish company that had crossed the Sound to fight on. Sweden only had a population of 6 million in 1940, so it would have been physically impossible for them to have a million men under arms. Traditionally speaking, countries are only able to put 10% of their population into the armed forces at any given time - and that is in the case of a total war. There might have been a million Swedes of all age groups who had undergone conscription at some point - but that does not mean that all those people can be mobilised. Many will be above 50 or 60 years old.
Furthermore, Sweden had been under Social Democratic control longer than Denmark, and the Social Democrats in Scandinavia were traditionally anti-militarist. The Swedish Social Democrats didn't become truly consoled with military spending till the middle of the war.
@@gustav331 we got a nerd here
oh and it's the danish government's fault that they lost so quickly, they wouldnt stop the germans but they could resist more than just hours if they mobilized and defended the country.
@@pyro_teamfartress2 Yeah, it was the Danish government's fault. Whose fault should it otherwise be? Their policy was borderline treason, and it was viewed as such both during and after the war. There were calls to have some of the ministers executed after 1945.
I literally state in my comment that the government had the option of mobilising and defending the country, but they refused it.
Thank you guys so much, we already reached 36K views on this Video!
The same feeling when you fell asleep in Denmark and woke up in Germany
Free Vacation
Bro imagine that satan asks the german soldier how he died and answers the danish front
If you pause the video somewhere in the 2nd second, where the German first loss happen - you can kinda say Denmark was winning xD
Can you do the invasion of Norway next?
Im pretty sure more people have dies from eating tide pods
Top 10 dealiest war in all history
Nice, and only 69 casualties.
It went all really fast after 11am. Danes didnt want to be bothered at lunch, so they just gave up
The fact denmark surendured in 6 hours is crazy when i first found out
Fun Fact: The largest and bloodiest battle during the invasion happened after Denmark surrendered.
salute for the 49 legos killed in the war
We just watched the bloodiest battle in WW2
Wich sources for invasions? geographical and casualities?
Its so interresting how fast u can march trough a entire country in hours
They had veichles they rode on. Also they didnt go through the entire country. Den ark capitulated pretty quickly
Looks familiar...good video tho
Had a nice amount of casualties
Norway just got absorbed 💀
The invasion lasted all of 6 hours btw, making it on of the shortest conquests in history
Wow I thought the French held the best time records for quickest losses.
nah, but for the most losses
@@MyBrainGlowsWhat if I tell you it's the exact opposite?
@@MyBrainGlows France has won the most battles in history but everyone laughs at them for getting destroyed by the Germans in WW2 and as a Geman I find that qiete funny
You're laughing, 69 men were lost and you're laughing.
We should be laughing at the Danes because they in all seriousness view their pathetic resistance as something heroic and significant. A 4-million people country (at the time) put up the same level of resistance as freaking Luxembourg.
@@marluxia8832 Nah the resistance put up was never looked upon as heoric and signifcant whatsoever, even back then. The whole nation boo'ed at the leaders and he literally died in office, so they formed resistance groups to rob german soldiers. The fight was never looked upon as heoric or significant, the only thing danes praise themselves for now is that the situation was handled very well in terms of the circumstances, as they could either fight and lose many men and lose and be tormented by germans, or germany could accept the treaty and danes wouldn't be lined up and shot. BUT 6 HOURS BRUHH THATS PATHETIC SKILL ISSUE
i have question HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU THAT MAPPING ANIMATION OR SOMETHING?
Damn it took them 6 hours? That the same time I am in school
And yet we still say the France that they easy serenader ....
This is just the regular amount of time they fought
6 hours be like:
I just woke up?!
The longest war mankind has faced.
This video jumpscared me
I wish invading Denmark in EU4 was that easy
At least the Danish tried
Denmark in one minute - so this vid is in real-time..
Imagine dying in this invasion
Might as well be the real one. But at least they didn't last 38 minutes
oh my god its the invasion but in real time
Fun fact: If the USSR inflicted the same number of casualties as Denmark did adjusted for population, they would have inflicted 850 casualties. For reference the number they actually killed was 4 million which doesn't count wounded or prisoners. So 4,705x more casualties per person than Denmark.
but the USSR not only withstood the onslaught of Germany, but also captured Berlin
@@dimka1276 Yes. A far cry from today's Russia which can't even capture the neighbouring capital of a much smaller country.
@@Adonnus100matter not only size of country, but size of armies. Ukraine carried out a full mobilization of its population at the beginning of the war. Russia did a limited mobilization only in September 2022. This means that the Ukrainian army has a numerical superiority over the Russian one from around the spring of 2022 (exact data will be available after the war). With fewer numbers it is rarely possible to conduct a successful offensive.
@@Mentol_ Indeed. What a failure it has all been. Hopefully Ukraine can remove the rest of the occupiers soon.
Rip those two guys that died at 3am 1940/04/09
Danes should have built their own Maginot Line made of Lego…
sir what is the progress on denmark? officers: its bloody! 20 men lost taking the whole nation
someone get babytron on this beat
What happened to the Vikings?
Plot twist crazy facts : 2 soilders eliminated in the first day of German invasion of Denmark was in bad witch hours. So 2 of them both side may get wiped outby the devil or the devil assistant of 2 soilders just shot accurately but get eliminated together.
At least a lot of lives were spared on the Nordic front. Oh The Winter War in 1 minute. I wonder how few casualties there was.
Basically, the Danish just said hey Germans come on in
A Danish guy slept and he wake up being German
wow why is there so mny casualities lol
Nice
Thanks :)
The combine invading the earth
69 casualties in total nice
To be honest, it didn`t take much longer than 1 minute for Denmark to bend over and surrender
Hitler belike : woke up and ask his general about invasion of Denmark
His general : it was finished
Wooh isn’t that bad

Fun fact: this is a fun fact if you didn't know but. Denmark survived 6 Hours against Germany. Only beaten by Netherlands in 30 Days or a month. Making Denmark the shortest lived country Against the axis in WW2
6 hours*
Thx for the Real thing. *Just misinformation lol*
The Danes went to bed and woke up in germany.
The reason why the casualties where so low is because Denmark didn't fight Germany due to its weak army, German leaders were pleased so they let them function as a regular country, they'd keep their king, government, and military.
If Denmark actually mobilised and prepared for the invasion they would have roughly 94,000 soldiers
E na guerra contra um país inteiro os únicos que morreram foi porque tropeçaram nos próprios cadaços, tiveram algum aneurisma ou um infarto
You were sleeping and suddenly you gets up and you see yourself German 😅
Danish Vikings crying in corner
Your assuming they took individual casualties instead of a single truck accident.
Make a tutorial for such videos please
Will do it soon 👍
Wow so many people died I feel so sad
I don't know what was Germany's strategy on starting by the island. Maybe to get them on surprise, because on the border Denmark problably was prepared to strike. So at the island, they would've had few or no army.
@Meme Care Package Honestly, true, they clearly had a victory over Denmark.
They wanted to rush to the capital to make them surrender
Denmark wasn't planning to fight at all.
They wanted to end the invasion as quick as possible so they went for the capital first, then attacking Jutland. Some Danes kept fighting after the Danish surrender because they didn't hear about the surrender yet. Imagine you got hit in a firefight with some Jerries, he comes up to you and says "You guys already surrendered, Dumbass. Get this one a medic." He would've shot you dead if he had a bad day or was really pissed at you but if you were lucky, you might have gotten the former.
@@tabletgenesis3439 the capital is on the island (called Copenhagen)
imagine being one of those 18 people that died and achieving nothing
The Germans killed a few danish battle ships as well
Mfers dropped 3 matches in cs:go and said “gg guys, im hopping off”
Pretty much how long the invasion took
People tend to forgot by basically allowing Denmark to be invaded without any fuss Denmark could keep a good relationship with Germany that was used to save thousands of Danish Jews. I am sure if we wanted to we could have made a suicidal attempt at defending our Islands and hold out for a while longer, maybe weeks if the Germans didn't anticipate we would, but to what end? Would have lost anyway and now in a much worse position to help anyone.
69 casualties in total💀
Video is 1min and the invasion in reallife was 6 hours☠️☠️☠️
Irony denmark of 20th century fell in just one day, while prussians had to face fierce warfare from denmark of 19th century.
Fun fact: did you know the germans poked the danish soldiers with sticks to wake them up and say "hey guys uh your getting invaded yknow?
Germany suffered close to 100 casualties, what is this man on
weird to think that tens of thousands went to sleep in denmark and woke up under german occupation
bornholm was not taken by the germans people held the place until the german stopped invating that part
how does he do it?
People are joking about how quick the battle was and how few people died, but it's important to keep in mind that these were 69 (ffs why that number) real people, with real lives. Every single one of these people had friends and family and were just involving themself in this because it was their job. Sure its way lower than other battles in wwii, but its still important to remember these 49 heroes who just tried to defend themselves and the 20 men, enslaved and brainwashed by a dictator with no regard for the millions of lives he took.
Don't sah hi to germany at 3am
i failed at painting
germany invaded denmark 83 years before i turned 12
BTW IT ACTUALLY ONLY TOOK 6 HOURS IM NOT JOKING 6 HOURS TO INVADE DENMARK
Yep its crazy
calm down why are you shouting
The Danish actually made a movie in 2015 about that, called 9. april/Haderslev or something. I dont think I've ever laughed so hard as when the MC grabs some hesitant officer by the neck and demands to stand his ground and defend the town, only to get scared like a little bitch and immediately surrender to the Germans like an hour later only because ONE of his soldiers got WOUNDED. Wounded, not even killed! And the Danish heatedly argued with me that it was a film about their heroes!
The officer surrendered in the movie because he was surrounded by armoured vehicles, and he didn't have any anti-armour weaponry. In reality, the army (which wasn't mobilised, by the way, so only 14.000 conscripts undergoing basic training were ready for combat) fought on longer than the Germans had expected them to, because the government surrendered very early on. The Danish politicians had resolved to surrender before the invasion even came, and that's the reason why they had refused to mobilise.
The last part sounded fairly insulting to the Danes. They were outnumbered, outgunned, and low on ammo, and they were going to throw their lives for what? Not every soldier is suicidal and would throw their lives away in a hopeless situation. It was honestly more realistic than anything Hollywood had ever splurted out. They aren't heroes in the hollywood standard of throwing their lives away, constantly killing enemies that appear to just throw themselves at the enemy, and high kill counts, they're heroes by protecting their country to the best of their abilities but knowing when it's no longer logically feasible to continue fighting. Plus, this was the early war nordic front of the war, the Germans weren't really known for their savagery yet and the Danes were seen as almost equal to Germans (or at least, not as ethnically inferior to be equal to Poles), so the Germans didn't have any reason to treat the Danes abusively, unless in some instances. I can even recall in the ending scene that the German officer offered the Danish officer a ride in his car, but the officer refuses and takes the bus with his men.

Denmark was neither annexed, nor made a Reichskomissariat. Hitler didn't even take back Northern Schleswig, which belonged to Germany before WW1. Denmark retained its de jure independence, government, and in 1940 even joined thr anti-Comintern Pact, becoming a de facto German ally. Even the Jews in Denmark were not discriminated against until Germans dissolved the Danish government in 1943. In fact, Denmark's fate was similar to Thailand's
