Fantastic fotage. Seeing Copenhagen 75 years ago, looking much like today, is great. I saw the harbour, with bombed out shipyard, that my grandfarther worked in. He was allmost killed, in the raid by R.A.F. When he was hit in the head, by a windowframe. By luck, and tha grace of God, he survived, and got to know him when I came into the World in 1957. He was the most important person for me, when I grew up. I still miss him. Thank you for the video. 🇩🇰🙋🏻‍♂️🪐👩🏻‍🚀🇺🇸

The first part of the film from 0:07 to 1:45 does not show the port of Copenhagen, but the port of Kiel in northern Germany. You can see the destraed Germania ship yard and last the wreck of the big ocean liner New York, which sank in a bomb attack in April 1945. I'm from Kiel, I know this port and the war history.

So many lives, each important in their own way. All gone like it didn't mean a thing. Those thousand nameless who once were full of life just for a moment, now rest silently in graves for all the eternity. Life is so short.

Am 9 April 1940 sind deutschen BesetzungsTruppen in Dänemark hereinmarschiert und mit Schiffe in Kopenhagen angekommen. Das Jahr bevor 1939 bekam Hermann Göring in Kopenhagen vom König Christian-10 ( der Grossvater von die gegenwärtige Königin Margrethe-2 ) den höchsten dänischen Orden für Ausländer (Dannebrogs-Ordenen) überreicht. 1940 waren etwa 1 Prozent der Bevölkerung ( meistens Kommunisten und überzeugte Patrioten ) WiederstandsKämpfer , 80 Prozent verhielt sich abwartend ( dänisch : "WindBeutel" ) und 19 Prozent waren für Deutschland. Mein Vater wurde 1944 von Gestapo verhaftet. Aber sein Verbrechen war gering , er hatte eine illegale Zeitung gedruckt. Außerdem sprach er fließend Deutsch und das hat ihn bei den Verhöre viel geholfen. Gefoltert wurde er nie. Bis 1945 war er in das "milde" dänischen GefangenenLager Fröslev. Etwa 1942 hat der dänische sozialdemokratischer Staatsminister Herrn Stauning im Rundfunk die Bevölkerung aufgefordert möglichen dänischen anti-deutsche Saboteure bei der dänische Polizei oder die deutsche Behörde anzuzeigen. Niemand hat den Minister dazu gedroht oder gedrängt diese Rede im Radio zu halten , es war Landesverrat. Bei der Befreiung am 5 Mai 1945 waren ( angeblich ) mehr als 95 Prozent der Dänen Wiederstandskämpfer oder hatte solche beherbergt. Lediglich etwa 5 Prozent waren immer noch für die Deutschen. Ich bezweifle daß die Prozente in Deutschland anders gewesen sind. Daß mehrere tausend nicht-jüdischen deutschen Bürger schon am Anfang des Krieges gegen Adolf-der-Österreicher waren , glaube ich nicht. Die SozialDemokraten waren immer die scheinheiligen Opportunisten der dänischer Politik. In 1997 wurde das gesamte dänisches TelefonSystem ( Tele Danmark ) von eine sozialdemokratischer Regierung erstaunlich günstig ( 25 Milliarden Kronen ) an die amerikanische Firma Ameritech verkauft. Neun Jahre später hat Ameritech das TelefonSystem ( Kabel , Zentrale , Teilnehmer ) für 44 Milliarden an Kapitalfonds weiterverkauft. Auch der Minister hört das Geknister. In 2001 hat der damalige sozialdemokratischer Staatsminister Herrn Poul Nyrup den einzigen dänische GrossFlughafen Kastrup an australischen Finanzleute verkauft und wieder sehr billig. 2013 hat der sozialdemokratische Finanzminister Herrn Bjarne Corydon 20-Prozent der ( vorher öffentliche ) dänische ElektrizitätsVersorgung D.O.N.G an die amerikanische Goldman-Sachs Bank verkauft. Kurz vor den Verkauf wurden die Aktien durch frei erfundenen nicht-notwendigen Abschreibungen auf Kurs 107 heruntergedrückt. Zwei Jahre später war der Kurs wieder normal , nämlich 400. Goldman-Sachs hat 33 Milliarden Kronen verdient und Dänemark das Gleiche verloren. Danach bekam Herrn Corydon eine DirektorStellung geschenkt bei der Firma McKinsey ( Goldman-Sachs' SchwesterFirma ) wo er das dreifache verdiente wie in dänisches Parlament ( Folketinget ). Seine Vorgängerin bei McKinsey war übrigens Frau Diana Farell von . . . Goldman-Sachs in New York. Warum hat die Verwaltung der D.O.N.G nicht gegen die abnormen Abschreibungen protestiert ? Weil es ( ausnahmsweise ) auch die Mitglieder der Verwaltung erlaubt wurde Aktien zu Kurs 107 zu kaufen. Falls einige unter das Publikum für diesen Film geglaubt haben , daß Dänemark ein Land von WiederstandsKämpfer und ehrliche Politiker ist , dann liegen die ganz falsch.

But the great thing is that Ampol used a similar font to the old one in their new logo.

Yes, British and Commonwealth forces played a huge part all over the world, defeating military regimes and others, to date they have still to defeat Hollywood. As you watch old war films you’ll see GIs advising British Generals on where they are going wrong. There had to be at least one American Major player in each film or it was said US audiences wouldn’t watch them.

You call people tools, but you're just following Fox News, or some other bullshit, blindly. The same science that told you the ice age exists, now tells you that we are ruining the earth.

The only human being who has ever literally "taken my breath away" was a girl of about 15, seen on the street in Copenhagen. I wasn't sexually attracted to her, just struck dumb by her beauty.

The first minutes of the film from minute 0:07 to minute 1:45 were not shot in Denmark, but in Kiel (Germany). I come from Kiel (born 1949) and know this harbor panorama from my childhood. Today there is a modern ferry port at this point, from where the ferries go to Oslo (Norway).

To set the record straight, the Danes were very cross with the Germans. Being civilized, Danish resistance mainly took the form of confounding german logistics, transportation and materials. The day the Jews were ordered to wear the mark, the King rode through the city wearing it in solidarity, and the Danes understood, the Danes protected their Jews staunchly. No one is saying some Danish girls didn't end up flat on their backs with a german boy, boys were boys and girls were girls, but it would have been such a scandal! Heads were shaved after the war.

The operative word you use is "many", I have a different perception of the word "many" if only for the tale of King Christian, who took took a daily horseback ride through Copenhagen, who when he learned that Danish Jews had been ordered to wear a yellow star appeared each day thereafter wearing a yellow star. He was instantly imitated by nearly all the other Danes. Literally millions of Jews were deported from other German occupied countries but I've seen the number deported from Denmark calculated at just below 70. After the war the male traitors who the Danes could identify were executed at the Christiania barracks, the women had their heads shaved.

While living under an invading dictator is never fun, gotta say, Denmark got through ww2 quite nicely. Compared to the horrors happening other places in Europe. So some might see the government as cowards, surrendering only a few hours in.... It was absolutely the right decision for the people. Denmark didn't stand a f***ing chance against Nazi Germany. And the amazing resistance fighting back wherever they could and helping 99% of the Jewish population escape to Sweden. So while Europe owe the US, UK and Soviets a lot, smaller countries did a good job with what they had to work with.
