Hi folks,
Here's a scenario that might be interesting to explore: What if Denmark actively joined the German side in WWII?
Whilst there were Danes fighting with the Germans (predominately the Waffen SS, though also in very limited numbers within the other arms I understand), this was essentially a small element and mainly focussed upon those who wanted to fight the Soviets. Germany also (at least initially) wanted to treat Denmark as a model protectorate with little day-to-day interference.
Now, I know that in reality this soon changed and that there was also quite a degree of hostility/resistance against the occupation. However, what if the opposite occurred and Denmark actually became a more active participant on the German side? What about Messerschmitts, Focke-Wulfs etc in Danish markings? Maybe the focus could be on protection of Danish Airspace and deployed operations only in the East?
Would such a scenario also be a trigger for other nations in a similar position (e.g. Norway, The Netherlands) to do similar?
Your thoughts and ideas?
NOTE: Please keep it civil and remember that this is simply a what if scenario and is not meant to belittle or insult the Danish people.
