 | 1940 Denmark invaded British Newsreel. April 18, 1940. Strategically, Denmark's importance to Germany was as a staging area for operations in Norway, and of course as a border nation to Germany which would have to be controlled in some way. Given Denmark's position in the Baltic Sea the country was also important for the control of naval and shipping access to major German and Russian harbors.The country is small and relatively flat, ideal territory for German army operations, and Denmark's small army had little hope of success in armed resistance. Nevertheless, in the early morning hours a few Danish troops engaged the German army, suffering losses of 16 dead and 20 wounded. Germany never gave any official number of losses, but these were probably heavier, with 12 armored cars and several motorcycles and cars destroyed. Four German tanks were damaged and one Heinkel 111 shot down. Two German soldiers were temporarily captured by the Danes during the brief fighting.Just before the initial German incursions into Denmark the German ambassador to Denmark, Renthe-Fink, called the Danish Foreign Minister Munch and requested a meeting with him. When the two men met 20 minutes later Renthe-Fink declared that German troops were at that moment moving in to occupy Denmark to protect the country from Franco-British attack. The German ambassador demanded that Danish resistance must cease immediately and contact be made between Danish authorities and the German armed forces. If the demands were not met the Luftwaffe was to bomb the capital Copenhagen.As the German demands were communicated the first German advances had already been made, with forces having landed by ferry in Gedser at 04:15 and moved north. German Fallschirmjäger units had made unopposed landings and taken the Storstrøm Bridge as well as the fortress of Masnedø.At 04:20 local time 1,000 German infantry landed in Copenhagen harbor from the minelayer Hansestadt Danzig, quickly capturing the Danish garrison at the Citadel without encountering resistance. From the harbor the Germans moved towards Amalienborg Palace to capture the Danish royals. By the time the invasion forces arrived at the King's residence the King's Royal Guard had been alarmed and other reinforcements were in their way to the palace. The first German attack on Amalienborg was repulsed, giving Christian X and his ministers time to confer with the Danish Army chief General Prior. As the discussions were ongoing several formations of Heinkel 111 and Dornier 17 bombers roared over the city dropping leaflets. Faced with the explicit threat of the Luftwaffe bombing the civilian population of Copenhagen, and only General Prior in favour of continuing the fighting, the Danish government capitulated in exchange for retaining political independence in domestic matters.At 05:45 two squadrons of German Me 110s had attacked Værløse airfield on Zealand and wiped out the Danish Army Air Service by strafing. Despite Danish anti-aircraft fire the German fighters destroyed 11 Danish aircraft and seriously damaged another 14.The Danish capitulation resulted in the uniquely lenient Occupation of Denmark, particularly until the summer of 1943, and also in postponing the arrest and deportation of Danish Jews until nearly all of them were warned and on their way to refuge in Sweden. In the end, 477 Danish Jews were deported, and 70 of them lost their lives, out of a pre-war total of Jews and half-Jews at a little over 8,000. |

 | Five-Nation Arctic Summit CHAN: The five nations bordering the Arctic Ocean kick off talks in Greenland in an effort to save the region's natural resources. They want to end the squabbling over ownership of huge tracts of the Arctic seabed. Let's take a look. STORY: Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the United States are squabbling over huge tracts of the Arctic seabed. Denmark has called them together for talks about protecting the region's natural resources. Norwegian foreign minister Jonas Gahr Store, calls on the global community to take more action on global warming. [Jonas Gahr Store, Norwegian Foreign Minister]: "I think we share broad agreements on the need to pay great attention to the vulnerable environment in the north. That we really have to take what is happening here as an alarming message of climate change which has to bring more action on a global level on the climate change issues." Environmental issues will play a great role in the discussions. Greenland's prime minister, Hans Enoksen, says the international community should learn from the way his people lived for thousands of years. [Hans Enoksen, Greenland Prime Minister]: "I like to stress that my kind has been living and surviving in the Arctic for thousands of years. People have survived the harsh Arctic climate by adaptation skills, expertise and knowledge. So we appeal to the international community to acknowledge, learn and benefit from that." Denmark has urged all involved to abide by United Nations rules on territorial claims and hopes to sign a declaration where the U.N. would rule on any disputes. Countries around the Arctic Ocean are rushing to stake claims on the oil and gas-rich Polar Basin seabed which were made more attractive by rising energy prices. And because of global warming the area will be accessible for mining and reduced ice will open up the Northwest Passage for shipping. |
