I am a dane watching this, ive been in the danish army (basic training, unfortunately didnt continue) so i am very much enjoying this.

[@ScandzaVaeringjar]

I love this journalist, Anders Agger. He has a show on danish tv with like 13 seasons where he follow everything from prison inmates, mental patients, different religious groups, hospice patients and doctors etc. He is great! Regarding the sniper/marksman naming.. it is indeed very "soft and leftie", but I don't think it's the militaries choice. It's basically a danish society/politics thing. A lot of danes, even in 2024 with all the shit going on in the world, does not understand why we need a military. It's strange cause most danes support Ukraine and sending aid/equipment, but as soon as we talk about upgrading our own military people become very "anti-war" without understanding that having a good military IS anti-war.

[@corellonable]

from my family ive also always been told that we "dont shoot to kill" in western armies, while in my basic training it was basically "fill the target with lead until it doesnt move" and in CQB scenarios when we had urban combat it was "poke him in the eye to see if hes still alive - if he moves, pull the trigger." so yeah a part of the danish society lives in lala-land.

[@HeloYoutube]

@@corellonable Thats a common misconception in sweden too, i think it can actually be traced back to what they were taught in the military back in the day. My father, who like a lot of people his age, did a year of basic and he's said they were told to injure because it places a heavier toll on the enemies logistics, I can imagine that as a foundation for the misconception. Now, as far as i understood during my year, that has never actually been standard procedure, weve always shot to put the enemy out of the fight, be that by killing pr injuring them, doesnt matter, its hard enough to hit anything at all in the heat of an engagement, but apparently it was a mindset that did exist among instructors back then.

[@SpiritDK]

about the difference in the language about the sniper or the "finskytte" about 25 27 years ago I went through my officer training, at that point we were told the reason we have 2 words for snipers is for easy and fast clarification if the sniper is friendly or hostile

[@SkyShock9124]

A lot was lost in the translation of the subtitles when they talked about Danish snipers being called marksmen. What they actually said, is that its called "Finskytte", and the enemies are "Snigskytte". The word "Finskytte" translates to "Fine shooter/Precision shooter", and "Snigskytte" translates to "Sneaking Shooter". It would be disrespectful towards our soldiers to call them "Snigskytte", as it implies they fight really dirty. Its a term you would call your enemy, but not your own soldiers. "Finskytte" on the other hand, implies that they are very precise and skilled shooters.

[@DK_1983]

Its something we did in order to not have "assassins" in our armies.... Its all political. Same shit different day tho.

[@winther2609]

plus, in the field it makes battlefield comms more clear, when someone says "sniper" everyone knows it's an enemy, while "marksman" you know it's a friendly. we do the same with handgrenades. enemy ones are called "Grenades" while friendly ones are called "Bombs". makes it a lot easier when someone in the extended line yells "Bomb!" you know they threw, and it's not incoming.

[@danishdefencedocumentaries3996]

I go over it in the description. The “official” translation of Finskytte is Marksman, but of course everyone just call themselves Snipers. It’s also worth nothing that Finskytte actually goes back quite far in Danish military terminology (Skarpskytte too), just like the modern sniper emblem is based on the Finskydningsgevær M.1928. So it’s probably both a mix of wanting to emphasise the precision over the hiding aspect, as well as just using a slightly antiquated odd word in the military like there are several examples of. At one point the official “sniper role” (called Specialskytte) was also distinct from the official “marksman role” (Finskytte) so that’s another nuance to it.

[@marcusaurelius3487]

Funny thing is, 17:48, the picture that is suppose to portray Simo is actually a picture of a swedish volunteer, not Simo, but always get's used to portray him.

8:45 Now the requirement is at least Gold rank in COD ^^

[@citizenVader]

We call it advanced marksman instead of sniper. I took the course to educate servicemen in the early tens and not for the army but the homeguard.

It seems that based on a certain saying WE WILL REMEMBER THEM these guy’s may well visit the NMA or RTTW and REMEMBRANCE DAY Coming soon in November

[@ane-louisestampe7939]

I trust that all Danish snipers know about The White Death. I assume Rusians have also heard of him 🤔

The best things that the Danes do is ALWAYS join the wrong side. In the 1800's they supported Napoleon, which resulted in the loss of their fleet in 1801. Then they chose the wrong side again which resulted in the bombardement of Copenhagen in 1807. In 1940 they fully cooperated with the Nazis, whom they were convinced would be victorious in WWII and wanted to "..sit at the winners table.." By August 1943 they realised that Denmark had backed the wrong horse and tried to start distancing themselves from the Nazis. In the post-war period they quickly joined NATO, but then went on to cuddle-up to the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact by making secret deals where Denmark would not be targeted by USSR nuclear missiles in return for a nuclear-free Denmark. The foolishness of Danish double-dealing was exposed after the fall of The Wall in the 1990's when it was shown that Polish-based missiles were indeed targeted on ALL Danish cities. The list goes on, but...

[@PixieSwallows]

As a Dane, i'm curious where you get your Danish history? Because literally everything you said there, was BS.

[@frederikgram8581]

What a pile of BS. As a proud Dane, and a grand grandchild of a danish border guard that was shipped of to camps in WW2. Im getting a bit angry of these claims. But i really want to know where you got that information.

[@davidommanney7263]

@@PixieSwallows As a naturalised Dane who has lived in Denmark for 40 years, I am sorry to tell you that these are all documented FACTS. Forget what your grandparents tell you while you are sitting around the table at julefrokost. While the Germans accepted that they had been wrong in their support of the Nazis and for generations have been trying to atone for it ever since. The Danes, on the other hand have blamed everything on "Prøjsserne" and have always claimed that they had no other choice, but to be feldtmadrasserne.

[@davidommanney7263]

@@frederikgram8581 Frederik, with all due respect to your great-grandparents, those are the documented facts. Your family is one of the exceptions in Danish history, as are those of the few of the Resistance Movement and even fewer of the only 1,000 people who joined the British Military during WW2. Also remember that, apart from willingly supplying the Nazis with both industrial and agricultural produce, about 10,000 Danes volunteered for service in the Wehrmacht, with the blessing of the Scavenius Government. Given the proximity of Jutland to Britain, compare those numbers to the 35,000 Polish, 30,000 Norwegian, 10,000 Czecheslovakians who managed to do the right thing. Read the OBJECTIVE history books and stop listening to the stories of people who are trying to justify their disgraceful behaviour.

[@PixieSwallows]

@@davidommanney7263 BS. Straight up. There's literally made documentaries about it. Our government and king at that time, NOT the danes, chose to just shut up and let the Germans do what they wanted, which is something we can thank them for, since Denmark, unlike most of Europe, wasn't bombed to shit. At the same time as we "obeyed" the, resistance groups started popping up all over the country, with members all they way up to politicians and ranked military officers, who then engaged in non-violent resitance started with direct communication to London, from Danish intelligence officers, already from April 13th 1940, where they gathered intelligence, mapped german supply routes and other intelligence based work. It wasn't until 1943 that the massive assault on the germans started, and the Danish resistance groups started the violent resistance, some of them with airdrop support from the brittish SOE. BOPA, Holger Danske, The Churchill Club, Samsing Gruppen, Hvidsten Gruppen and so forth.
