German invasion of Denmark (1940)
The German invasion of Denmark was the fighting that followed the German army crossing the Danish border on 9 April 1940 by land, sea and air.
Lasting approximately six hours, the German ground campaign against Denmark was the briefest operation of the Second World War.〔Dildy 2007: 34〕
== Background to the invasion ==
The attack on Denmark was planned as a part of the German Operation ''Weserübung'' Süd – the German plan for an invasion of Norway. The purpose was mainly to secure the iron ore shipping from Narvik. In order to capture Norway, the Germans had to control the airfield outside Aalborg in northern Jutland.〔Lindeberg 8〕 The ''Luftwaffe'' high command was in favour of occupying Denmark in order to extend the German air-defence system northwards, making it harder for British bombers to outflank the system from the north when attacking cities in Germany.〔Dildy 2007: 9〕 Additionally, the Norwegian fjords also provided excellent bases for German submarines to attack in the North Atlantic.
