I remember the danes managed to save all their Jews, so unless there's evidence otherwise I don't think they were too submissive.
Alright you have done somthing here, you have a half truth mixed with a oversimplifaction that more or less misses my point yet sadly puts me in a position of making me seem like a nazi defender of some kind
First of all
This is from the wikipedia article on the danish ww2 occupation and while it may be a simple source I think It puts it rather succinctly.
Next
3k deaths over 5 years vs 2k
volunteers into the godamn SS
In 40 when they took over they population and king made it to difficult for the germans to weed out their jews but by 43 their control was so complete I doubt many were able to hide, once again not defending any part of the nazi shit, just explaning how in practice the way the 5 years of the war played out were rarely defined by single story's but the numbers we can count at the end.
Also just to finish, the proof of their noble and heroic stand against facism
not even 2 dozen men bought the farm and the government was seeking to lube up and find the most comfortable barrel
Thats how many the french lost in 6 weeks and the world remembers them as cowardly surrendering collaborators, obviously population sizes are different but come on.
Shit just look at Norway, whose response to the German Ultimatum was the most badass shit I have ever heard
"The resistance is already underway"
Its not simply my opinion that they were collaborators at worst and submissive and servile at best, its backed up by historical data
