Denmark and Nazi Germany
The entry does not mention the Danish Government signing a pact with the Nazis, in return Nazis would control Danish foreign policy.
Denmark coordinated its foreign policy with Germany, extending diplomatic recognition to Axis collaborator and puppet regimes and breaking diplomatic relations with the "governments-in-exile" formed by countries occupied by Germany. Denmark broke diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and signed the Anti-Comintern Pact of 1941. In 1941, a Danish military corps, Frikorps Danmark was created at the initiative of the SS and the Danish Nazi Party, to fight alongside the Wehrmacht on Germany's Eastern Front. The government's following statement was widely interpreted as a sanctioning of the corps. Frikorps Danmark was open to members of the Danish Royal Army and those who had completed their service within the last ten years. Between 4,000 and 10,000 Danish citizens joined the Frikorps Danmark, including 77 officers of the Royal Danish Army. An estimated 3,900 of these soldiers died fighting for Germany during the Second World War. Denmark transferred six torpedo boats to Germany in 1941, although the bulk of its navy remained under Danish command until the declaration of martial law in 1943. Denmark supplied agricultural and industrial products to Germany as well as loans for armaments and fortifications. The German presence in Denmark, including the construction of the Danish part of the Atlantic Wall fortifications, was paid from an account in Denmark's central bank, Nationalbanken. The Danish government had been promised that these expenses would be repaid later, but this never happened. The construction of the Atlantic Wall fortifications in Jutland cost 5 billion Danish kroner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.164.86.235 (talk) 18:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Vendsyssel-Thy
when did Vendsyssel-Thy become a island? I dont remember any earthquakes....? Rasmus1166 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasmus1166 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- It's separated from the mainland by the Limfjord and seems to have been that way for some time (since 1825), to judge by the article. —Angr 15:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- North Jutlandic Island has information about this island, with a map. The map is not very good, in my opinion, but the article explains how the island has been a peninsula, and an island, at various historical times. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Scandinavia?
Is Denmark really Scandinavia? Sure, culturally and linguistically we connect it with Norway and Sweden, but geographically it's not located on the Scandinavian peninsula. 77.251.187.25 (talk) 23:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
According to wikipedia
Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region in northern Europe that includes, and is named after, the Scandinavian Peninsula. It consists of the kingdoms of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark ... which share a mutually intelligible language (a dialect continuum), ethnic composition and have close cultural and historic bonds, to a degree that Scandinavians may be considered one people
--Lasse E (talk) 15:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- We can refer to Scandinavia, the geo-political region, that includes the geographic Scandinavia Peninsula and Denmark, because political alliances, in the form of councils, tightly bound the countries together, in the same manner one would refer to the western world, even though it does not describe a geographic feature. --OrbitOne (talk) 10:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Errors in Economy section
The statement: "Neither does the Index account for the actions of governments to nurture business in the manner of the Japanese Zaibatsus during the late 20th C, that helped lead to the Japanese economic miracle." is simply incorrect.
Zaibatsu where family run business conglomerates of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. Post-WWII the Americans believing the Zaibatsu to have played an important role in Japanese militarism stripped the Zaibatsu families of their assets, forced the firing of the top-management and split the Zaibatsu up. Later some of the pre-war Zaibatsu (E.g. Mitsubishi) member companies began to link themselves together again forming what are referred to in English as Keiretsu. In Japanese the 6 large Keiretsu are more commonly called 大企業集団 (Dai-Kigyou-Shuudan - Large Business Groups) and described as 横系列 (Yoko-Keiretsu - Horizontal-Keiretsu). Either way the post-war linkings between Keiretsu-member companies are much weaker than they were in the pre-war Zaibatsu.
Furthermore, the height of the Keiretsu-era was during 1960's post economic liberalisation, when fears of take-over by foreign corporations was high and the companies linked themselves together through mutual stock holdings. By the late 20th century especially after the collapse of the economic bubble, Keiretsu were already becoming increasingly irrelevant.
The Japanese government did however work closely with industry, especially during the high-growth era (1950's and 60's). However, there are just as many examples of failures of these policies as there are of success and the usefulness and effectiveness of these policies is under debate.
Anyway, in summary, this section is incorrect and doesn't have any places in a discussion about the Danish economy. I'm calling for its deletion.

Viking Age
Why no Viking Age heading in the History section? Seems this most interesting and glorified part of Denmark's history deserves far more than an introductory paragraph under the Iron Age heading. A major expansion is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.127.118 (talk) 07:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- I have renamed the Iron Age section to the Viking Age. That title does seem more fitting fitting as it really only mentions the Viking Age and neither the Germanic or Roman Iron Age (in Danish history). As it is the section on Viking Age doesnt really seem to need expansion (a more detailed account is found in both History of Denmark and Viking Age), but perhaps the section on the earlier periods could. --Saddhiyama (talk) 08:57, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
