I said a foreign occupation, not a foreign invasion.

But that is the extent of my knowledge of WWII Denmark

The Danish gave up in like a day when the Germans invaded, but later resisted heroically once the occupation began.

By poisoning their butter cookies?

Everyone wearing the Star of David was a very cool move.  Apart from that, I believe Danish resistance was nonexistant.

You had to mention those butter cookies.

I believe you are right.  Denmark was very minimally interfered with by the German occupation, their government allowed to continue uninterrupted, and as such the Danes gave the Nazis very little trouble.

Operation Carthage was cool. Except for hitting the school.

I think that's a legend; Danish Jews weren't forced to wear the Star of David.

Perhaps I'm thinking about the Dutch resistance.

Perhaps I'm thinking about the Dutch resistance.

I think it was in Nial Ferguson's book on WWII that I read the Dutch were so cooperative only about 40 Germans were needed to administer the whole country.

Of the Western Allies I think only the Norwegians really approached badass.  Then of course there were the Yugoslavs.

[Josquius]

It's the Danes who didn't resist.
The Dutch did a fair bit.

Martin Bashir apologizes for saying somebody should shit in Sarah Palin's mouth.
