Drew the German soldiers walked into Danish military bases and actually woke up the Danish soldiers and said they live in Germany now, bokoen1 spoke about this with ISP, also their largest ship was being moved to go and help the allies but ran aground and sunk. Bokoen1 also remarked watching ww2 historical footage in school of German soldiers shaking sleeping Danish soldiers awake in bed.

This basically sums up the Danish military of today.

[@Argondo]

not completly true... some ships was scuttled in the harbor so as to not be captured by the Germans. also there was a defense of the border but it was only for about 2 hours... since they lacked any kind of weapon with any power... Denmark is flat so it is easy to invade both by ship and land ....

@@persong_uy Michigan was winning the "war" pretty much from the beginning, so Ohio called in the Federal Government to stop the fighting. The Federal Government needed a way to get Michigan to stop fighting, so they promised to give Michigan the upper pennisula as compensation. Michigan took the deal because they realized if they didn't they would have a much harder time achieving statehood (at this time Ohio was a state, but Michigan was still a territory) as well as the fact that the upper pennisula was full of many natural resources.

The reason why Greece held out for so long is because Italy first invaded alone without much German assistance, but when Germany invaded Yugoslavia they were able to invade Greece as well. They fell pretty quickly after that

[@teog2040]

Greece still lasted more days than Belgium (24) and most of the army was in Albania.

@@teog2040 I didn't know how long they lasted after the German invasion. thanks!

[@unaihmg9352]

They lasted so long that zhukof said this of them. Russian Field Marshal Georgy Zhukov wrote in his memoirs: “If the Russian Peoples succeeded in raising their tired bodies in front of the gates of Moscow, to contain and set back the German torrent, they owe it to the Greek People, who delayed the German Divisions all the time needed.

[@teog2040]

After the Italians were defeated the Germans didn't invade immediately and allowed Greece to remain neutral. Nonetheless Greek high command was aware of how unstable the situation was and requested help from the UK. Churchill didn't want to commit to many resources on Greece and instead tried to force Greece to withdraw from Albania, give up Thessaloniki and abandon the Metaxas line and do a coordinated withdrawal to natural defensive positions further south. This was unacceptable to the Greeks who had liberated northern Epirus for a second time in less than a century and knew the fate of the Greek minority in northern Epirus. Moreover Thessaloniki being the second biggest city was too important to give away without a fight. So the British did help but not enough thus the Germans invaded and the rest is history.
